Is the US Ready as China’s EV Industry Seeks to Dominate Global Markets?

The just-concluded Shanghai Auto Show 2025 showcased China’s incredible advancements in battery electric vehicle technology. While most governments in the West have been relatively slow to adopt EVs, Beijing began pumping tens of billions of dollars in subsidies into the domestic electric vehicle sector well over a decade ago, giving its industry a major head start over carmakers in other markets.

As a result, China has surpassed the U.S. and Europe to become the largest electric vehicle market on the globe. Its gargantuan population provides a massive market for its homegrown electric cars, and unlike Western carmakers, Chinese vehicle companies can manufacture electric cars at low cost and sell them at incredibly low prices compared to EVs developed by automakers in the West.

With the Trump administration undoing many electric vehicle-related policies passed by the Biden administration, many experts are worried that the U.S. may not be able to catch up to China and its world-leading electric vehicle industry. The auto show in Shanghai was a notable showcase of how Chinese EV brands have the potential to outcompete their Western counterparts.

The show featured dozens of automakers showing off all kinds of electric vehicles equipped with next-gen features to massive crowds, while an army of livestreamers broadcast the event to millions of viewers across the country. While the event was graced by automakers from around the world, Chinese automakers were the undisputed stars of the show.

For starters, Shenzhen-based automaker BYD’s unveiling of its new electric sports car was one of the most anticipated events of the show. Dubbed Denza Z, the electric sports car is described as a testament to extreme performance and pure emotional design by BYD global design chief Wolfgang Egger, a designer who previously worked on vehicles for Lamborghini and Audi.

Attendees also marveled at the ET9 luxury sedan, a sleek offering from Nio that’s meant to rival the Panamera from Porsche or BMW’s 7 Series, as it shook and shimmied to the music and showed off its automatic doors and suspension. The crowds were also very interested in seeing what Xiaomi, the Chinese electronics giant that recently pivoted into vehicle making, had to offer in another hall.

China’s vehicle industry has been preparing for electrification for more than a decade, and the current political and economic atmosphere could allow it to fully entrench itself in the global supply chain.

President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs on cars have devolved into a trade war between the U.S. and China that could cause the two largest economies on the globe to decouple, putting China on track to be the largest player in the electric vehicle industry while America’s green energy and infrastructure sectors struggle to recover.

Unless the U.S. ramps up support for its EV sector, it risks falling further behind China, an outcome that could reshape the global auto market and future of clean transportation leadership. Companies like Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) have their work cut out to fly the American flag high in an increasingly competitive global auto landscape.
