BYD et al got massive support from the Chinese government in the past, but most of that support is gone now, and little of what is left applies to exports. The US government's $7500 rebate is larger than what BYD gets per car.

It's easier to register an EV in China than an ICE car, among other things - for instance, ICE cars must be left idle on a specific day of the week (determined from the car's license plate number), whereas EVs can be used the full 7 days a week.

That’s not support from the chinese government, that’s just good climate policy. Sucks that EVs in the US are held back by the government’s poor climate policy.

We don't know that at all.

We know it is 17% or less, because of the EU investigation.
