The President Donald Trump was planned 25 percent of tariffs Manufacturers of imported cars and key automatic parts are designed to transfer manufacturers to the United States and create jobs. The shares of Europe and Asia carmakers have fallen, but there are karmeyers that will increase the costs. China’s BYD’s shares are now the largest manufacturer in the world Electric vehiclescame on Thursday. US Tariffs, BY western carmakers, and behind his compatriots – only Chinese companies increase their prices, increase their prices and return their compatriots.

Tariffs come immediately after calling some analysts “DeepSeek moment” – China Last AI leap – For the global auto industry. BYD has declared a super-week last week Home charging system It says he can add about 470 km away in five minutes. Drivers can take an electric car like filling a gasoline, filling an electric power, producing electricity electricity, such as filling a gasoline. Weeks ago, BYD announced another techno-leap: free, developed Self-driving system Since it is called the eyes of God, as planned to install in his range.

The grid capacity can still restore BYD’s plans for China’s 4,000-speed charging station, and political and practical obstacles can prevent ambitions that can build such networks in other major markets. Foreign competitors can repeat their charging achievements in time. However, BYD’s prowess shows that the center of the home innovation is now in China. Beijing’s industrial policy led by Beijing has built a giant production base and has become a surprising change in the patients. Pure battery and plug-in are hybrid machines Expected to be unusual In 2025, the internal combustion engine (ice) in China, ahead of his western competitors.

All this happens when the EU is offered to relax the issue rules – perhaps the expected response to keep Europe automatically keep up with the targets of automobiles, but will slow home. Meanwhile, the US policy has become reverse in effective.

Most of the other great global carmakers trust the United States for a part of sales, likes Byd The United States is already transfedable to the United States, as well as the Canada and the EU and the tariffs available in the Chinese EVS. However, Chinese groups are in South Africa, Brazil, India and Turkey, in 2023, in 2023, it helps to overcome Japan as the world’s largest car exporter. Many of this exports are ice cars, but as demand, China is ready to go to the highest competitive house models.

The cars of the United States, which are mainly used by the US-made BYD, is among the best cars. But even the advances of Tesla BYD are afraid. In general, the US tariffs for Western carmakers threaten the fact that the future of the industry is further brake in the transition of clean technology – simply apply the accelerator.
