While the US and some European governments view China’s vast production of electric vehicles and green-energy tech as overcapacity, African companies see it as an opportunity to secure EV technology and develop the industry. China is the global leader of the EV industry – it makes nearly 75 per cent of the world’s electric vehicles and dominates the supply chain. Its high production has driven down the cost of EVs, batteries and components, which has improved access to technologies that were...

Tesla will voluntarily recall about 3 million of its vehicles in China to address doorhandle safety concerns and deficient driver monitoring systems.

Chinese safety regulators have cracked down on doors that don't open in a crash.

China’s market regulator has ordered a recall of more than 4 million vehicles, including nearly 2.98 million Teslas, because interior emergency door releases blend into the surrounding trim. The remedies are warning labels and software updates, ahead of a 2027 standard banning concealed handles. China has recalled more than four million cars because a lever […] This story continues at The Next Web

Tesla will resolve its massive recall of nearly three million vehicles in China with stickers and a software update. On Friday, Chinese regulators filed recall plans against Tesla, Xiaomi, Leapmotor, Xpeng, Chery, Geely, Dongfeng, Arcfox, and FAW to resolve what is essentially a carbon-copy issue throughout each of the companies’ vehicle models: emergency door release […] The post Tesla will resolve massive China recall with stickers and a software update appeared first on TESLARATI.

It's not enough to have a mechanical backup for your electronic handles. It also has to be easy to spot in an emergency.

China’s regulator ordered changes after vehicle occupants sometimes had difficulty exiting electric cars with retractable door handles after crashes.

Tesla has issued the largest-ever product recall in mainland China’s electric vehicle (EV) market, as Elon Musk’s firm pledges to fix a door-handle issue affecting nearly 3 million cars. The massive recall comes as Chinese regulators move to ban retractable car door handles over safety fears, after a fatal incident last year in which a driver was left trapped inside a burning vehicle as passers-by were unable to open the car doors. While Tesla is not the only company affected by the move, the US...

Tesla is recalling 2,740,642 vehicles in China to strengthen driver monitoring on its assisted-driving system, after regulators found that checking for a hand on the wheel isn’t enough to keep drivers watching the road. The fix forces Tesla to use the car’s cabin camera to track the driver’s eyes — the same kind of monitoring Chinese drivers were recently caught defeating with $20 plastic doll heads.

Tesla and eight other automakers will install warning labels that help occupants identify the often hard-to-find manual door releases.

Tesla is recalling 2,975,910 vehicles in China after the country’s market regulator determined that its emergency door release is too hard to find and operate in a crash. It’s Tesla’s largest-ever recall in China, and it lands as the automaker’s door design faces mounting legal and regulatory pressure on two continents. Several other automakers who followed Tesla into similarly designed door releases have also issued similar recalls.

The California startup has partnered with a design-for-manufacturing company to supercharge its solar EV production plans.

Waymo is now letting all riders in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix hail its next-generation Ojai robotaxi — a vehicle built in China by Zeekr. That makes the Ojai one of the only ways for an American to ride in a Chinese-made EV, a car they still can’t legally buy for themselves.

Dongfeng claims its new Voyah Passion S drove upside down in a tunnel, just like Mercedes did back in 2010.

China’s electric vehicles (EVs) already lead the way in terms of battery and autonomous driving technologies. Now, the country’s auto brands are adding a new dimension to the notion of intelligent cars: turning them into full-scale entertainment centres. A new wave of Chinese-developed EVs is hitting the market equipped with everything from voice-activated artificial intelligence (AI) assistants, to headlights that double up as film projectors and karaoke systems. Some even feature immersive...

BYD’s new Qin Max is now on sale, another Tesla Model 3-sized electric sedan that’s about half the price.

For Eric Huang, a Guangdong-based healthcare entrepreneur who owns a Lamborghini Aventador and a Tesla Model S Plaid, the appeal of Chinese premium electric vehicles (EVs) has grown as their technology has caught up with his expectations. “I hold electric cars to strict safety standards, so I used to stick to Tesla,” Huang said. But he added that domestic brands had now met his standards. His next purchase, he said, would be a six-seat premium electric minivan equivalent from a Chinese brand,...

A total of 69,513 Chinese electric vehicles were newly registered in South Korea in the first half of this year, a 178.7% surge from the same period last year. The share of Chinese-made vehicles in the overall EV market expanded from 26.8% to 35.0% in just one year, posing a growing threat to the do

Many consumers see BYD primarily as a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker that has recently emerged as one of the world’s top EV sellers. In Korea, BYD surpassed 10,000 units in cumulative sales less than two years after entering the market in January 2025. BYD’s rise, however, is rooted in its long-standing battery expertise, with the company building electrification capabilities for nearly two decades before becoming widely known as a major EV maker. BYD began in 1994 as a small battery manufacturer in Shenzhen, China. It later expanded into solar power and energy storage systems, developing into a broader clean technology company. The company entered the automotive industry in 2003 after acquiring Chinese automaker Qinchuan Automobile. In 2008, BYD unveiled the F3DM, the world’s first mass-produced plug-in hybrid EV. The model drew significant attention because of its approach of making the electric motor the primary source of propulsion while using the engine when greater

Deliveries of electric vehicles (EVs) in China fell 3.9 per cent in July from a year earlier, extending their decline to a seventh consecutive month as fading government incentives and weaker consumer demand weighed on the market. Domestic sales of pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles last month also fell 5.8 per cent from June, according to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). “A bleak market outlook is likely to affect most small [EV] companies, as some of them will be...

The China Passenger Car Association released data Tuesday showing penetration of new energy vehicles rose in July. Tesla's Model Y remained popular.

The structural collapse of gas car sales has continued in the world’s largest auto market, with July numbers showing that the only type of vehicle doing well is pure battery-electric cars, while sales of every other type of vehicle continue to drop precipitously for months on end.

Sinopec, China’s biggest fuel retailer, just gutted one of its Shanghai gas stations and swapped the pumps for BYD’s 1,500 kW flash chargers. And this wasn’t a case of bolting a couple of chargers onto the edge of the forecourt. Sinopec pulled the underground gasoline tanks out of the ground and turned the whole site into an EV-only charging hub.

The likelihood that US electric vehicle (EV) giant Tesla will obtain Beijing’s approval for higher-level autonomous driving remains a distant prospect, according to analysts. Though Tesla recently hired people to test its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system in China, many obstacles remained, with data regulation a core issue, they said. Earlier this month, China outlined its first mandatory standards for autonomous driving systems, setting requirements for vehicles that feature level 3 (L3) and level...

BMW Korea and Mercedes-Benz Korea can better fend off the rapid rise of Tesla and Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) makers by pivoting toward Korea’s growing ultra-luxury vehicle segment — an arena where newcomers are unlikely to match their brand heritage and exclusivity anytime soon, industry officials said Friday. Rather than competing head-on in the increasingly crowded premium market, the German automakers are expanding their highest-end offerings, betting that their longstanding brand heritage and premium positioning will remain difficult for newer rivals to replicate. The strategy comes as Tesla and Chinese brands, such as BYD, continue to gain traction in Korea, eroding the dominance long enjoyed by established premium automakers. For instance, Tesla’s price-competitive Model Y won a title as the nation’s top-selling vehicle in the first half, accounting for more than 30 percent of all newly-registered vehicles here. While German brands still remain strong in the luxury segment,
