In the 1970s and 1980s, Japanese cars like those from Honda and Nissan revolutionized the American automotive market. The same thing might be happening again soon in the electric car market, but this time, the electric cars are coming from China.

In terms of volume, China has become the undisputed leader in the electric car market. According to the International Energy Agency, in 2019, China had 2.58 million battery electric cars, while there were just under one million electric cars in Europe, and in the United States, there were only 880,000.
