America Slows EV Push as China Captures Global Car Market

As reported by CNBC, China has emerged as the world's leading automobile exporter since 2023, leveragingelectricVehicles serve as their main weapon. Chinese brands are rapidly growing throughout Europe, South America, and Asia, establishing sales channels as Western car manufacturers scale back. Electric vehicles are not a minor effort for China—they are the central export plan.

In the United States, the atmosphere is quite different. Car manufacturers are reducing their electric vehicle investments due to lower-than-anticipated demand, evolving incentives, and shifts in politics. Rather than increasing their focus, businesses are returning to gasoline-powered cars and big SUVs, prioritizing immediate profits rather than future strategies.

The financial effects are already apparent. Stellantis reported a $26 billion cost impact due to restructuring and electric vehicle setbacks, causing a one-day stock drop of over 20%. General Motors and Ford have both admitted to billions in losses related to electric vehicles and are scaling back or canceling planned electric models.

Even Tesla, once considered untouchable, is now facing challenges. BYD surpassed Tesla in electric vehicle sales across Europe last year, and Elon Musk has openly admitted that Chinese car manufacturers are now Tesla's main rivals. Tesla has stopped production of the Model S and Model X.productionand is shifting factory resources towards robotics and AI initiatives—a remarkable change for a company originally focused on automobiles.

The figures illustrate the reason. According to GlobalData, China's electric vehicle sales increased from approximately 570,000 units in 2020 to nearly 5 million by 2025, with exports rising almost fifteen times. At the same time, the overall market share of GM, Ford, and Stellantis dropped from 21.4% in 2019 to 15.7% in 2025. Chinese manufacturers such as BYD and Geely rose from less than 3% to over 11% during the same timeframe.

Experts claim this goes beyond electric vehicle technology. It involves government support, fully integrated supply chains, and intense speed. Since the automotive industry accounts for approximately 5% of the U.S. GDP, industry organizations are now cautioning Congress that Chinese car manufacturers pose not only a competitive challenge but also a structural and national security concern if not addressed.
