Whenever I attend an international launch for a new Chinese car, I can't help overhearing what other English-speaking journalists are talking about. Some are still making jokes about the Chinese car industry, like it's still 2010, and Western automakers still dominate technology and sales. However, it's 2025, and China's largest carmaker, BYD, sells more plug-in cars than anyone else on Earth and boasts some of the fastest-charging and most advanced electric vehicles in the world.
