Slower growth in EV adoption would deal another heavy blow to assemblers from BYD to Leapmotor, which are known for low-priced cars, after big-name international banks reduced forecasts for car deliveries this year. “Petroleum-powered cars will regain market...

China and the European Union began 2026 with another trade clash. As the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism entered its definitive phase, Brussels tightened compliance and Beijing warned of countermeasures. However, this week, the two sides signalled progress on defusing the electric vehicle dispute; the EU issued guidance to Chinese EV exporters on submitting minimum price plans.

2 w. ago Tesla dethroned by China’s BYD as world’s top EV maker amid Musk’s politics, tax credit woes

Tesla lost its crown as the world’s bestselling electric vehicle maker (EV) on Friday as a customer revolt over Elon Musk’s right-wing politics and stiff overseas competition pushed sales down for a second year in a row.

For the fourth quarter, sales totalled 418,227, falling short of the 440,000 that...
