The White House recently intends to compete with China in the field of electric vehicles, and even issued a statement urging automakers not to produce overseas, but Tesla CEO Musk claimed that China's manufacturing level is really amazing and frightening. This completely frustrated the White House's calculations.
On December 15, US time, Musk said in an interview that China will become an emerging force in the world's automobile production industry, and also said that before people ignored China's achievements in manufacturing, China will once again create the climax reached by Japan in the 80th century, and Chinese cars will also become a benchmark for other countries in the world to imitate.
The professionalism and spirit of excellence held by Chinese have made the rest of the world feel a sense of fear while being amazed, because this spirit of perfection has made other countries feel unprecedented pressure.
In fact, this is not the first time Musk praised the advantages of China's automobile manufacturing industry and market, just some time ago at the World New Energy Vehicle Conference, Musk once made a judgment that China is the most influential automotive industry in the world. And at the global Internet conference held later, Musk emphasized the importance of China to Tesla and highly praised China's contribution to the global digitalization process.
In fact, the above praise and attitude towards China are directly proportional to Tesla's sales speed in China.
At present, Tesla has established a large factory and charging piles in Shanghai, China, with an annual production capacity of more than 500,000 vehicles. It can be said that China has become their most important sales and production place.
According to the data, by November this year, Tesla's market revenue in China has been 25% of the global market revenue, compared with last year has a significant increase, which shows that China's car production skills in the world continue to mature, and the contribution rate to automobile production capacity is also increasing.
Therefore, in the face of the rapid trend of China's development in the automotive industry, the US government can't sit still, biden issued a statement saying that it will compete with China in the field of electric vehicles.
On December 18, US time, Biden delivered a speech during a visit to a major automobile manufacturer, saying that in the future, electric vehicles are the development trend of the automobile industry, but at present, China is already in a leading position in this industry, which is an unquestionable fact, so he calls on the US automotive industry to act as soon as possible.
Biden elaborated on his future hundreds of billions of dollars in electric vehicle investment plans, saying that although the US electric vehicle industry is gradually lagging behind China, the United States will set a new industry benchmark for the automotive industry. It also issued a statement saying that it would not recommend that automakers invest in building factories in China.
And Biden also hopes that Ford will play a role in the competition between the United States and China. And according to the report issued by the US media on the 18th, the Hundreds of billions of dollars allocated by the Biden administration this time are to invest in the research and development of electric vehicles, including technology and batteries. And Biden said that the United States has a great advantage over China, because the United States has invested more in automobile research and development than any other country.
While China has the world's largest and fastest auto production line, the United States is confident of leading the global electric vehicle production market with hundreds of billions of dollars in investment.
In fact, Biden has released a report before visiting Ford, ready to pour more effort into electric vehicles.
At present, the global market is more shifting to electric vehicles, but the United States is lagging behind other countries, and its market share is only one-third of China's.
The next step of the United States is to fully focus on electric vehicles, the president of Ford said that in the future, their company will only have long-term development in China and North America to occupy a certain market, and will keep up with the pace of the times in terms of product upgrading and upgrading, and the official replacement of new technologies will further create a more competitive Ford company.
But no matter how the United States moves, China's leading position in the field of electric vehicles is a fact, and it is very ridiculous for the United States to urge automakers not to produce in China, because automakers are unlikely to give up China's excellent production base today, and Tesla's performance is to pour cold water on the United States.
