Why are Chinese EVs so cheap? In this episode of Kilowatt, we break down the price gap between EVs in the U.S., Europe, and China, exploring how China’s dominance in battery production, supply chains, and government subsidies created the world’s largest and cheapest EV market. Plus, we dig into price wars, tech-packed interiors, and why Western automakers are struggling to keep up.
