Beijing Auto Show spotlights sub‑10‑minute EV charging tech

k.gordon50

Every American car manufacturer deserves to go out of business. Instead of innovating, they decided to retain the status quo and suck up to this admin.

Jonathan34

You can price cars affordably when you aren't only concerned about billion dollar c-suite packages.

Thomas29

The only two countries Trump is making great right now are Russia and China.

Drew Montagna24

China taking full advantage of Trump wrecking the US economy. Everything Trump does is for two reasons; stay out of prison and amass as much wealth (by fleecing the American taxpayer) as possible.

Socrates Agrees19

Good. The US deserves every reckoning it gets. I hate it here.

Georgia, running in the cold13

Add in the fact that you can get a solar charging sun roof outside the US (looking at you, Ioniq 5)

And they’re so cute and cheerful. Maybe we’d be happier if our streets looked like Busytown instead of hosting our exhaust-emitting, dismal white, gray, and black fleet.

urnotkelly.bsky.social9

China will be THE new super power in the world as the US is left far behind. They are dominating in the EV, solar, wind, chip production etc etc. they have been working for years on moving forward while the US has held onto some fantasy of the “good ole days” that were never that good.

Sam Furgiuele9

Hopefully, they’ll crush Tesla and end the reign of terror of Elon Musk.

EllisonX6

the dinosaurs at Ford & GM did the classic wrong move, protectionism over innovation. Instead of taking up the challenges of the future, meeting them head on as the Chinese are doing, Ford & GM insist on flogging a horse even they know is dead.

bluebotany.bsky.social6

The car dealership will be more than happy to sell you it a twice the price. Fuck that. Factory direct BABY!

In the US, it started with reagan taking the solar panels off the White House right after an oil crisis. That was the sign, we all saw it, no one's done anything about it. The last 50 years is the result. The lack of imagination in the US auto industry is mind-boggling since it's inception.

Restricting Chinese electric vehicles with crazy tariffs and regulation hurdles has not boosted failing domestic production of EVs so we keep burning oil, and fighting stupidly evil wars over oil, when we know what we are doing to the planet is evil.

dpbsmith.bsky.social4

The US auto industry was almost wiped out by Japanese competition in the 1980s, but were able to adapt--partially. But this looks like a death blow to me.

I look around in the US and I wonder where are all the small fuel efficient cars? Shouldn’t we be moving in a direction that’s better for the planet? Apparently not while the big profits are in huge gas hogging SUVs and trucks. Weren’t we a nation of innovators at one point?

Apple4

The country the United States keeps handing all the technology over to?

uppaalaska.bsky.social 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇦🇺🇬🇱🇵🇦🇺🇦3

Boycott big oil! Buy EV’s only!

Fermin's Swedish Paradox3

American Exceptionalism! Our cars are 5x better!

The Gaul of Kanata3

but don't forget that the Chinese auto industry is heavily subsidized.... this isn't sustainable and doesn't reflect the true production costs

Anthony Calvello2

Disaster for every other car company worldwide. High Tariffs will be imposed to keep the Chinese cars out of the U.S. .

Green Grandma 💙2

This year Canada plans to open 20 dealerships starting in Toronto allowing 49,000 cars arriving annually.

impeach-t.bsky.social2

It’ll be funny to see the Chinese EV is coming into Canada and the owners traveling to the United States with them.

David Williams2

Imagine how much less expensive US made goods would be if, even paying employees better wages, CEOs didn't walk off with millions per year and zero could ever be spent buying elections and politicians.

Susan NO DMs2

And after taking bribes from US makers rump will ban imports.

Walt48

Exactly! The US is going backwards just so a few rich guys make money from oil.

FP :-|33

meanwhile back in good old exceptional usa, we're soon to have coal burning cars 💨

Mysterious Noodle26

Yep, for the foreseeable future. I see people riding electric cargo bikes as a replacement for cars as people quit gas and cannot afford a new car.

Henry LaCaville24

American car companies are ready to compete!

Biaisa Weda21

Recently had a conversation with a GM executive and he said he was terrified. He wants Trump to block all imports of Chinese electric vehicles. I guess they no longer like capitalism. Republicans, this administration, and US auto makers (regardless of whether they want to admit it) are to blame.

evPhoto19

It's amazing what a country can accomplish if it doesn't spend $1,000,000,000,000 a year on war. (That's a whole lot of zeroes). 🫥

Unfortunately I will not read your article. Why? Because your cookie popup only gives me two options: - agree to all - scroll a big-ass-long list and manually switch them off one by one and then save my choices. I am boycotting sides that don't give "deny all" as one of default options.

Alan Sochan12

Can't wait to buy one of these. They will be available in Canada.

GrisGris11

I want my flying car!

While Trump attempts to drag the US back to the 50’s

CHRONIC CANADIAN 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🦋❤️🐶🇺🇦9

The North American auto makers have been protecting the old ways for so long they’ve fallen behind.

Clyde McKinley9

If you don't adapt to the future you end up left in the past. Putting solar panels on your house and getting free energy to charge your EV and never having to pay for gas is woke...

Sokyle2 🇺🇸 🇰🇷 🇫🇷 🇺🇦 🇹🇭 🇹🇼 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️7

And China already owns the future - it dominates in EVs, solar panels, wind turbines All thanks to the Republicans who GAVE CHINA these markets with their regressive, anti-renewable, pro-fossil fuel policies 🤬

Doug van den Ham6

Maybe the US industry could save itself with a taller, more menacing looking truck?

Andy6

Spent a fortnight in China this February. Got Didi taxis everywhere as they were inexpensive. Most drivers have brand new EVs - BYD notably. Large city of 7m people with good air quality and lower traffic noise. Saw 1000s of wind turbines on train journeys as well.

lovemaddow.bsky.social6

trump screwed the US once again… thanks magats

Jackson McBride6

The US, primarily due to the ass-backwards policies of the Republican Party, is always ten steps behind. Japan took advantage of us in the ate '70s and '80s and it took the US auto industry a decade to try and catch up. Here we are again.

J. Barry6

China is dominating the EV market, and Ford's CEO came back from Australia in full panic mode after getting behind the wheel of some Chinese EVs. He found that they are better cars with lower prices. Now Ford is doing everything in its power to keep them out of the U.S. market.

The Barbegazi5

And we have an orange dinosaur bombing Iran and manipulating oil prices like its 1973. I hate it here.

Henry LaCaville4

Canada is getting 49,000 Chinese electric cars from 3 companies at the end of this year. 🇨🇦

robertjeff57-58.bsky.social4

They are fantastic Hear they are not using lithium in the battery any more Less than ten minutes to charge

Clive Warner4

Unsurprising. Years ago I went to the US to give a talk to cement industry execs. I finished and the audience just sat there with weird faces. Finally I got one question: "Is anyone using this cement plant technology?" They were many years behind.

Jules lava 🇪🇺3

Europa en VS missen echt de boot. Euh, de auto. De heilige koe

Jacquie H.3

We are going to be buried. Anyone with TWO braincells working can see the direction the world is heading, and the US is heading in the opposite direction.

VictoriousYankee3

See how wonderful it can be when there aren’t rural Bronze Age cosplaying assholes holding back the smart people.

AndyDread 3

well given how much Chinese engineers love to cut corners i'm not sure totalitarian China is who we should be relying on. I've seen to many issues BYD and Xaomi cars in China to trust them.

Snarkydoodle - #IAmAntifa🐸3

I've already investigated buying one from Canada. We'll need more time. AND a different type of administration.

Christopher Boffoli3

I'm guessing you didn't see the privacy cloaks that they commonly put on electric cars when they have runaway fires on the streets of China. The cloaks are meant to obscure the brands to save face. They'll also chisel off the logos as fast as they can. According to the CCP, China IS the future.

J. Michael Bossert3

Anyone buying a gas car now is . . . TOO STUPID for words.

everybodybcool.bsky.social3

honestly most Americans have no idea about the state of Chinese EVs

Becfella3

💯 they got that market while everyone else was sleeping Or in USA s case blocking for oil and also one billionaire buddy

Mr. Blabalino 🇳🇴🇺🇸💙2

I have a hold on a Denza Z Softtop pre-order in Norway. I saw the release was announced there, but they still have no pricing or options details available.

Lydia Medina2

The trump administration has voluntarily given China a prize and they didn’t even have to move a finger

I Have Opinions 🌈♾️🦋 🇺🇸🇺🇦2

Seems to me you've just been dazzled by chinese bullshit. It happens to a lot of people. None of those cars are safe. Not one. Get your head out of their asses and really look. economy.ac/news/2025/11... www.ibtimes.com/what-know-by... www.scmp.com/news/china/s...

John the doctor2

Never forget it didn’t have to be that way. Rich people protecting their monopoly killed innovation, it’s always this way.

airbare.bsky.social2

Not saying you are wrong. Not saying I am right, but I don't see any connection between robots & cars, hate touch screens in cars & really don't care about any of the bling electronics going into cars. Just another tech that will stop working in 5 yrs - at least 15 yrs before I am done with the car.

azmichael1976.bsky.social2

hmmm, like the 1970's, Toyota fundamentally changed the U.S. auto industry in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when its reliability‑focused manufacturing system and fuel‑efficient cars forced Detroit to overhaul how it built vehicles. We can keep announcing. Drill, baby Drill will not help America!

Jason Douglas Thompson2

The future US Automotive Industry if MAGA keeps the brain drain going on.

bermynick.bsky.social2

Meanwhile the Mango Mussolini is making sure fuel for his beloved gas powered cars is more expensive and supply less consistent.

Sombre Reality 🇦🇺2

We've known that for a long time on this side of the world. I live in Australia. I can't drive one because I'm an emu, but there's Chinese EVs of many makes everywhere here.

cestlafolie.bsky.social2

....while they cling to their guns, bibles, and Buicks

Bob Salinger2

Thanks for posting this. What a wake up call. Actually too late for a wake up call. U.S. has missed the boat.

Natick42

There will be an eventual consolidation in the Chinese market; some of the companies are racing to the bottom on viability. That said, Beijing expects the smartest and most competitive companies to survive. Americans - and Europeans to some extent - are living in la la land.
