I have a feeling we're gonna loose the EV race same how we lost the software race and then the mobile race. Our auto industry could be the next Nokia.
Sure, I'm confident the lobbied EU leaders will put speedbumps in place for the Chinese Auto makers in the EU market, but that will do more harm than good as the local brands won't be under enough pressure to innovate, knowing the governments have their back regardless.

Was the EU ever really in the race to begin with? They really wanted to be, but you can't actually centrally plan a working software or hardware economy.
> EU leaders will put speedbumps in place
That's the only tool they understand how to use. It's sad that this makes them feel they have to constantly use it.

Yea.. you almost get the feeling these policies are _designed_ to create monopolies and have nothing at all to do with fostering competition.
