How China’s EV giants took over the world — Mark Andrews on BYD, NIO and the future of electric cars
Description
In this special episode, George East sits down with Mark Andrews, journalist and author of Driving the Dragon, for a deep dive into the astonishing rise of the Chinese EV industry.
Having lived in China for nearly 20 years, Mark offers rare, on-the-ground insight into how brands such as BYD, Geely, NIO and XPeng went from small domestic start-ups to world-beating electric vehicle giants.
He explains the unique conditions that fuelled China’s EV boom, how manufacturers keep prices so low, the looming threat to European legacy carmakers — and the risks facing China’s own domestic brands as global competition intensifies.
A must-listen episode for anyone interested in the geopolitics, economics and technology shaping the future of electric mobility.
