"After surprising analysts with its global rise in sales at the end of 2023, BYD has now raced ahead of Tesla—until recently the undisputed front-runner in EVs. As stock value and sales at Musk’s firm dropped last year, BYD has moved from success to success. In 2024, it sold a record of 4.3 million cars, with a 41 percent increase in sales. It now stands comfortably ahead of Tesla in the general category of new energy vehicles (NEVs), which comprises both Battery-Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). According to the latest reports, it is now neck and neck with Tesla on BEV sales; 1,790,000 for Tesla and, just behind, 1,764,000 for BYD—a 12 percent increase from the previous year. With its current rates of year-on-year growth exceeding 50 percent, and with abundant untapped potential still remaining in the EV industry, it is reasonable to expect BYD overtaking Toyota as the world-leading car firm within the next decade.

BYD is already behaving like a firm which seeks world dominance in its sector. Until recently, the Chinese automotive and EV sector was largely a domestic phenomenon, with the bulk of vehicles sold at home. Now, Chinese EV firms are expanding their production around the world, at an unprecedented scale and speed. Chinese electric vehicles factories —some of which are able to produce more than 100,000 vehicles a year—have sprung up in Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, Turkey, Hungary, Brazil, and Mexico to satisfy increasing demand for Chinese EVs which, besides their high quality, are also around 20 percent cheaper than their Western counterparts.

A key factor in BYD’s expansion is an effort to mitigate against the risk of tariffs and other trade barriers in an increasingly protectionist climate."

"Obviously, Trump’s strategy is terrible: it’s not even clear what he wants. But a less inept administration would also be struggling. Over the decades, the US’s leverage to remake the global trading system — capital flows, advanced technology and access to its vast consumer market — has weakened relative to China. Barack Obama used to call the US the “indispensable nation”. In trade and tech terms that is increasingly untrue.

During the post-second world war Marshall Plan, the US created a largely Atlanticist political economy in western Europe. It offered not just financial Marshall Aid but also advanced technology, and access to its growing consumer market.

Those advantages have dissipated. US aid budgets have massively shrunk relative to China’s, and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has more or less closed down their last vestiges in the US Agency for International Development.

The US, particularly under Joe Biden, worked hard to deprive China of advanced technology, especially semiconductors. But the failure to match Chinese official and corporate investment, while sending the wrong signals to US industry, mean it’s well behind in much of green tech. If a country wants to adopt solar or wind power or replace internal combustion engines with electric vehicles, including batteries, it will generally get the heavily subsidised kit from China."

**Buildings That Heal Themselves? It’s Happening.**
Scientists have developed a new material that can repair itself when damaged**—think cracks that seal on their own. This innovation could pave the way for longer-lasting, more sustainable infrastructure. The future of architecture might just be *alive*.

'The materials China just restricted aren’t random. They’re chosen with the precision of someone who’s read U.S. product spec sheets and defense procurement orders. Start with dysprosium. If your electric motor needs to function at high temperatures—and they all do—then mostly it is using neodymium magnets doped with dysprosium. No dysprosium, no thermal stability.'

🚀 Innovations- & Zukunftsagenda: Mit Investitionen in Zukunftstechnologien wie #KI, #Quantentechnologie, #Greentech & #Wasserstoff stärken wir die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und sichern Wohlstand. Seit 2014 haben wir fast 25 Mrd. € investiert!

💬 MP #Kretschmann: „Die Innovations- & Zukunftsagenda sichert den Wohlstand. Sie bündelt die Maßnahmen und Investitionen zur Förderung von #Zukunftstechnologien. Gerade in Zeiten geopolitischer Verschiebungen müssen wir in #Europa unsere technologische Souveränität voranbringen. Außerdem erhöhen wir unsere Attraktivität bei #Unternehmen im Ausland, wenn es um Standortentscheidungen geht. Dass CustomCells seine Rundzellen-Pilotlinie in Tübingen aufbaut, zeigt, dass wir ein ideales Umfeld für Innovationen und deren Ansiedlung bieten.“
