From aggressive pricing to global expansion and grid integration, we explore how China’s evolving EV strategy is reshaping the global landscape, international partnerships, and infrastructure transformation.

The move underscores China's dominance of the critical mineral industry and is seen as leverage by China in its trade war with Donald Trump.

The recent moves of BYD are filled with a sense of crisis, to the point where the title of China’s No. 1 and the world’s largest electric vehicle company is meaningless.

China's export restrictions on rare earths that are widely used by the auto industry could disrupt, or even halt, German car production, Germany's VDA auto industry lobbying group said on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Global auto executives are sounding the alarm on an impending shortage of rare-earth magnets from China – used in everything from windshield-wiper motors to anti-lock braking sensors – that could force the closure of car factories within weeks. In a previously unreported May 9 letter to Trump administration officials, the head of the trade group representing General Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai and other major automakers raised urgent concerns. "Without reliable access to these elements and magnets, automotive suppliers will be unable to produce critical automotive components, including automatic transmissions, throttle bodies, alternators, various motors, sensors, seat belts, speakers, lights, motors, power steering, and cameras," the Alliance for Automotive Innovation wrote the Trump administration.

China said it would cooperate further with other countries over its rare earth export controls as shortages put auto and semiconductor makers in Europe and India at risk of closure.

Indian auto production could grind to a halt within days due to Chinese export restrictions on rare earth magnets, according to company executives and documents from industry groups, which want the government to lobby Beijing to relax the curbs.
