what made china so dominant when it comes to battery technology?

what made china so dominant when it comes to battery technology?
slavelike labor and lack of worker rights
>subtly admits the usa is only dominant because of slavery and lack of worker rights
you are trying so hard chang
Exactly the opposite, manufacturing in the US is moribund because you have to either get extorted by some IRL Tony Soprano unionist or pay Pablo for criminally low quality results.
are you retarded?
The USA is not dominant in manufacturing, and all of the worst parts of the worst US cities are the areas where all the industry left for China decades ago. Almost any factory you see in the US is abandoned or repurposed.
what battery manufacturers are in the us?
what worldwide hegemony is in china?
>slavelike labor and lack of worker rights
And yet Chinese labour is higher paid and has more legal rights than most, see Africa or other shitholes. Why doesn't America just import electronics from Haiti ?
anon your stupid there is paid labour, then there is the slave labour aka welfare system.
shut up wuamao
I'm surprised its only 60%. China has intentionally become the world's factory. It was aided in this endeavour by the US having the world reserve country. This mean that all other countries are pretty much required to hold US dollars. The best way for other countries to get those dollars is by selling stuff to the US, which China has gotten very good at doing.
They are sone 10 - 15 years ahead, if not more. Not only electric cars, even trucks, buses, are available. The progress never stopped in china. Some subway lines are on maglev, and they are building a superfast maglev, too. Notice the moon race appears to be China vs India.
Wait until you find out how much the US spent on the interstate system
>Some subway lines are on maglev
One (1) line in Shanghai
>they are building a superfast maglev
no
No, Beijing and Changsha. Shanghai only has the Transrapid from Germany.
Pretty sure Tesla makes their own batteries, and they make a lot of fucking batteries.
>Has no idea what their talking about
>Pulls some wild random claim out of their ass
Tesla sources their batteries from Panasonic turbo retard
True but the amount of batteries they produce is dwarfed by the Chinese companies' productions. Even Tesla buys lots of its batteries from chinese companies.
The Panasonic Gigafactory is a partnership between Tesla and Panasonic so essentially all batteries produced there are only used for Teslas.
They can mine the raw materials without regard to human life or environmental damage.
no one mentioned semi-competent top-down economic planning ("industrial policy" if you're triggered). they seem to actually have someone at the wheel.
This. China decided they would own that entire market segment. And they did. And when some other smaller players got too big for China's liking they decided they would own them too just in case. Then they did. And shitty government's like Canada's just let critical industries get bought out, despite in Canada's case having a treaty with the US saying Canada is supposed to prevent that from happening.
How many modern economies aren't? What's mass immigration but government's version of channel stuffing to artificially boost the GDP? At least the usual channel stuffing doesn't having armies of spindoctors to say how it's actually a good thing that's happening and its effects on destroying domestic culture and social cohesion are totally cool too.
China's economy is based on channel stuffing.
China has grown where they dont need to supply america with goods anymore, the consoomer class is big enough.
The west needs china for cheap parts and manufacturing, china doesn't need the west.
That's why the US is building factories more in mexico because they know there's going to be another world war and alliances are forming right now with BRICS vs NATO.
>alliances are forming right now with BRICS
A thousand Indians and Chinese just killed each other in the Himalayas and the Chinese ambassador threatened to annex Vladivostok from Russia
What the fuck kind of alliance is that
Lithium extraction is so incredibly harmful for the environment that China is the only country in the world that hasn't banned it. Remember to buy a muskmobile to save the whales.
China is the third largest producer of lithium; Australia produces three times as much lithium as the PRC, and Chile produces more than twice as much. And I would really like to know where people have gotten the retarded idea that lithium mining is any more destructive than any other form of mining.
capitalism
cheap labour, abundant resources, massive state funding
>manufacturing
lol anyone can manufacture batteries, Japan is still at the forefront of battery innovation and they will continue to do so.
China has to import most of its oil so they have an incentive to reduce their reliance on it, meaning putting more focus on EVs and battery production. It's the same reason why France invested heavily in nuclear power in 70s-80s.
Only non-retarded post in this thread. Amazing how chinks have somehow figured out that energy independance is a good thing
Also they skipped the downsizing of ICE entirely because they couldn't do it. Electric engines are much simpler to design. EU and japanese auto makers went into stop gap technology with hybrid engines.
And I will buy a panasonic or LG battery over their garbage everytime.
Not for long
Raw materials was never the issue with China. Its the refining and production capabilities. We could get there but its easily a decade away barring some large public works program.
Willing to give themselves cancer to mine it cheaper than everyone else.
I fucking hate batteries and constantly having to charge shit.
Takes less time to charge an EV than it does to go to a gas station. Literally just plug it in at night and have a full tank in the morning
>Takes less time to charge an EV than it does to go to a gas station.
EVs have 1/3 the range of an average ICE vehicle.
Any actual road trip is going to require multiple longass stops.
Also good luck when a day is too cold and your range magically goes down or you use the heater too much.
>300+ mile EVs are the norm
>average American commute is 20 miles
"but muh once a year road trips!"
I only have a PHEV, but going from filling up twice a week to once every other month is a game changer. Forget the money, you retards have no idea how much time you waste going to gas stations all the time
they have slave system so they used to produce the raw shit to most complex shit at no labor cost cutting prices all around, and then using their controlled economy to make shit at scale with free labour to fuck the markets.
They own africa.
would have been a waste of time to try to pull even with combustion engines
look at some of the clearances needed to build a battery factory
it might be revalatory if you had to ask
