> Take BYD for example, they absolutely dominate China. In China, EV buses are a common thing.

China seems to be electrifying their fleet extremely fast. My girlfriend was working in Guilin and was surprised on how quiet all the traffic was because most of it were EVs already. Scooters, cars, busses, EVs were much more common than ICEs.

That provides Chinese manufacturers with a lot of real-world experience. That's important as not only are the Chinese poised to upset the EV auto market, but also the EV bus market, EV motorcycle market, EV scooter market, etc.

This gives China a path to totally dominate transportation. This is probably one of the things behind the Belt and Road Initiative.
