China's competitive edge is no longer based on low costs, but on productivity, market size, technology, and innovation. The country has executed a long-term industrial strategy, dominating the entire value chain in the electric vehicle sector, from mineral refining to software and artificial intelligence. In contrast, Europe has been slow to adapt, focusing on regulatory frameworks and failing to invest sufficiently in research and development, particularly in key technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and semiconductors.
As a result, China has taken the lead in the electric vehicle market, producing cheaper, more advanced, and better-equipped cars than many European rivals.
