The Rise & Rise Of The Chinese EV Market — 17% Market Share In January

José Pontes — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 12:25:02 +0000

After the December sales peak, a covid surge, the end of EV subsidies on January 1st, and the Lunar New Year celebrations (this time happening in January), one would expect a sales hangover in January, and this time … it did happen. The market dropped by 8% YoY, to some 343,000 passenger new energy vehicle […]

XPeng Enters 4 European Countries

Zachary Shahan — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 04:40:41 +0000

One of the most exciting car companies in the world — from my perspective — is the Chinese “smart EV” startup XPeng. It’s been around for a few years, so it may seem like a veteran in some regards in this fast-growing and fast-changing market, but it’s very much a nascent company trying to scale […]

NIO CEO: Chinese Auto Market Should Brighten Up In March Or April

Zachary Shahan — Fri, 06 Jan 2023 04:57:13 +0000

China has been struggling a bit in recent months with COVID-19 lockdowns, then COVID-19 outbreaks, and of course with a variety of economic slowdowns and supply chain disruptions due to both of those. Pick your automaker and you can see signs of the struggles in lower than expected sales, price cuts, etc. (Just don’t pick […]

NVIDIA’s Thor Autonomy Chip — Could It Be Loki In Disguise?

Chanan Bos — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 04:30:31 +0000

The engineers over at NVIDIA claim to have harnessed the power of Thor. Actually, that I made up. Though, a large chunk of NVIDIA’s press release about its new autonomy chip codenamed Thor is just as arbitrary (or it was just written by a mischievous Loki to confuse us all).
