China now dominates the global electric vehicle market, selling more EVs than the U.S. and Europe combined and doing it at record speed. What began as a niche experiment has snowballed into an industrial powerhouse reshaping how cars are built, priced, and powered.In this episode, we explore how China pulled ahead: smart industrial policy, full supply-chain integration, lightning-fast manufacturing, and a domestic market hungry for high-tech electric cars. We look at what this means for Western automakers, global competition, and the new rules of the EV game.Join David Carlin and Simon Messenger as they ask whether the rest of the world can catch up or if China has already lapped the field in the race to electrify transport.
