America Is Blocking Chinese EVs ... I Flew to China to Find Out Why

美国正在对华电动汽车设限，我专程飞往中国探寻背后缘由

Everyone online keeps saying Chinese EVs are cheap knockoffs that could never compete with Tesla, Mercedes, BMW, or the rest of the world. So I flew 9,000 miles to China to see for myself.

From self-driving cars and massive EV factories to battery technology and infrastructure that honestly shocked me, this trip completely changed the way I look at the future of electric cars. I thought I knew what to expect… I was wrong.

We got a behind the scenes look at CATL and the battery tech powering the future of electric cars. EV batteries are changing fast, and CATL is a huge part of why.

网上一直有言论称，中国电动汽车只是廉价仿制品，根本无法与特斯拉、奔驰、宝马等国际品牌同台竞争。为此，我跨越九千英里来到中国实地探访。

自动驾驶汽车、规模庞大的车企工厂、领先的电池技术以及配套基建，都让我大为震撼。这次行程彻底改变了我对电动汽车行业未来的看法。我本以为早已摸清现状，结果却大跌眼镜。

我们深入探访了宁德时代，了解到这款支撑电动汽车未来发展的电池技术。车用电池技术迭代飞速，而宁德时代正是推动行业变革的核心力量。

以下是各国网友的评论：

I'm not convinced China have caught up, I think China have left us all in the dust.

我觉得中国不只是追平了我们，早已把各国远远甩在了后面。

The lack of city noise is the most amazing thing.

中国城市都格外安静啊，这一点让人印象最深。

Green license plates EV’s and plug-in EV’s
Blue license plates petro vehicles.
I was there for 9 days, 7 in Guangzhou, 2 in Shenzhen. Both cities no street noise.
Went to west Kowloon in Hong Kong, very noisy.

绿色车牌是纯电和插电混动汽车，蓝色车牌是燃油车。

我在中国待了九天，七天在广州，两天在深圳。这两座城市的街道都十分安静。

后来我去了香港西九龙，那边就嘈杂多了。

back in my days in the UK we had to modify the trunk with loud speakers

以前在英国，不少人还特意在车尾加装大音响制造噪音。

All that traffic and zero honking…. Crazy

在中国，路上车水马龙，却几乎听不到鸣笛声，太不可思议了。

"This is the most complicated driving there is." India: "Hold my beer."

有人说“这里路况最复杂”，印度网友：那可得让你见识下我们这儿。

astargaming8301
Bro should come India, he would surely be amazed the way people drive here, and he won't be able to drive here

博主可以来印度看看，这里的开车风格绝对会让你大开眼界，换你根本没法上路。

chukwunonsoegbunike4671
come to Nigeria and rive in Lagos or Onitsha. if the traffic doesn't get u, the potholes will get you

来尼日利亚的拉各斯或者奥尼查开车试试。就算堵在路上熬得住，路上的坑洼路面也能让你吃不消。

Nio alone has 3,750+ swap stations in China. You didn't see half of the story

仅蔚来一家，在国内就拥有三千七百多座换电站。你看到的还只是冰山一角。

jaker3151
If you can't beat them, tariff them.

竞争不过，就开始加征关税。

llenliu8820
Nah, at this point, it aint a tariff, but a full on embargo. Politicians dont want chinese tech for national security concerns, so they arent allowing chinese companies to start building their cars here and you have the massive ass tariff. So if the logic is high tariff forced companies to move to the US, but then politicians say nah anyways. Imo, it’s effectively just an embargo in only but name. The worst part the tariff doesn’t work anyways bc byd just doesn’t import to the US bc it’s too dam high.

现在已经不只是加关税了，基本等同于全面禁运。美国政客借着国家安全的由头，排斥中国技术，既不准中国车企赴美建厂，还征收高额关税。

原本想着高关税能倒逼企业赴美生产，结果官方还是百般阻挠。在我看来，这就是换了个名头的贸易封锁。

而且关税根本起不到作用，比亚迪干脆就不往美国出口车辆，毕竟关税实在太高了。

mallbutdeadly931
I was gonna make a comment about the only risk being surveillance and data collection being a huge risk with Chinese EVs, but then I remembered that basically all new cars do that

我本来想说中国电动车存在监控、收集数据的隐患，可转念一想，如今几乎所有新款汽车都会采集数据。

Just off to the DMV to get my licence so the car can drive itself.

我正要去车管所考驾照，好坐上自动驾驶汽车出行。

Five years ago I would NEVER think about buying a Chinese vehicle. But the other car manufacturers have sabotaged their cars with shit components

五年前我绝对不会考虑买国产车。可现在其他车企都在用劣质配件，车子质量越来越差。

peglor
Tyre noise drowns out the engines (Except for the morons with 'race' exhausts) once a car is hits 50 or 60 km/h, so the engine makes no difference except in places where speed limits are kept low. Cities are quiet, cars are noisy.

车速开到五六十公里每小时，轮胎摩擦声就会盖住发动机的声响，那些改装炸街排气管的车辆除外。

所以只有在低速路段，才能听清发动机声音。整体来看城市很安静，车辆行驶时还是会有噪音。

villear
And we denied all that why? To protect the trash, overpriced car market here in the US so they can keep rip us off

美国处处设限到底图什么？无非是保护本土质量一般、定价虚高的汽车市场，好让车企继续收割消费者。

razorlens
That and the fact that our families still have jobs. If Chinese market takes over, the factories where our families work will be shut down. The repair shows will no longer be needed. In 20-30 it will get rid of most blue collar jobs. I am all for technology and advancement but I also want food on the table.

还有就业方面的考量。一旦中国车企抢占市场，我们家人所在的工厂就会倒闭，汽修行业也会随之萎缩。

二三十年之后，大量蓝领岗位都会消失。我支持科技进步，但也得保证一家人能维持生计。

drancealot
@razorlens If you think saving US jobs is why the US isn't allowing Chinese cars and EVs into their market, you're still under the delusion that the US government and corporate America cares about the working class. The government cares about their donors and the corporations care about their shareholders. If they can avoid paying workers they would do it. They don't want Chinese cars in the US because it would take away from their profit. You can say what you want about China. Political oppression, sweat shops, surveillance state, etc. What you can't say is that China takes the money it has amassed over the last half century as a global manufacturer and reinvested it into infrastructure and technology, lifting it's people out of poverty. The US is the richest country on the planet, and people are dying of homelessness, poverty, and preventable diseases. Imagine if the US actually cared about it's people instead of pitting them against each other so billionaires get wealthier. If the US cared to make life affordable for the working class, it would have to worry about the Chinese market taking over. More precisely, if the US cared about it's working class and infrastructure, the Chinese market wouldn't be able to take over.

如果你觉得美国抵制中国车是为了保住本土就业，那你就想错了。美国政府和大企业根本不在乎工薪阶层，政客只讨好捐款者，企业只顾及股东利益，能少发工资他们绝对不会手软。不让中国车进入美国，纯粹是怕自身利润受损。

外界总对中国有各种负面评价，但不可否认的是，中国凭借制造业积累财富后，持续投入基建与科技，帮助民众摆脱了贫困。

美国明明是全球最富裕的国家，却还有人无家可归、深陷贫困，甚至死于本可预防的疾病。

试想一下，如果美国真心为民着想，而不是制造对立、让富豪越来越富；如果能切实改善工薪阶层的生活、完善基础设施，根本就不用担心中国车企带来的竞争。

I was in Shanghai for a while and it always blows my mind every time I go on the road, the amount of vehicles yet so quiet was so trippy. It used to be so close to gridlock and roll your window down and u actually hear birds chir in the distance lol

我在上海待过一段时间。路上车流量极大，却格外安静，每次出门我都觉得很新奇。

哪怕车流几乎堵得走不动，摇下车窗，还能听到远处的鸟鸣，特别有意思。

China hasn't just "caught up", they have surpassed American engineering.

中国不只是追平了水平，在汽车制造技术上已经超越了美国。

plaintextlog
In Australia, Chinese EV's are hugely popular. Like every 5th car. The US is missing out.

中国电动车在澳大利亚特别受欢迎，路上平均每五辆车就有一辆是中国电动车。美国实在错失了良机。

D1ARBO
China hasn't caught up to the US, they're 10 years ahead!

中国哪里是追平美国，技术足足领先了十年！

EveryBeard.Has.AStory
A lot more than 10 years I'm afraid.

恐怕领先的远不止十年。

CrushDani
Meanwhile, the US is like...WE NEED COAL AGAIN!!!

反观美国，如今还在喊着要重新大力发展煤炭产业。

halesofmiletus2966
Who said Chinese EV’s are crap? People in the US? The ones who have never left the USA?

是谁说中国电动车质量差？难道是那些从没走出过美国本土的人吗？

philipdavison3862
They do not want Chinese cars in America,it will kill American car sales.

美国不愿让中国车进入本土市场，因为这会冲击本土汽车的销量。

AntonioSerranoMx91
The ones who have never left the states. Yup.

没错，就是那些从没踏出过美国的人。

kalikaputra
actually here in Australia we know they are crap, it was all a mad rush last 3-5 years, but since people bought them and start to use them, their sales dropped 41% this first quarter alone and we have ,like China, fields of unsold Chinese EVs just being parked but they have been registered as sold. Happening in Brazli, Europe, Israel, south Africa, Thailand too. This whole EV thing already blown up in China too. p.s that PEng car they were driving is in a world of hurt for these cars causing accidents.

其实在澳大利亚，大家都清楚国产电动车并不理想。过去三五年大家跟风抢购，可实际使用后口碑下滑，仅今年第一季度销量就暴跌41%。

现在当地和国内一样，大片电动车看似完成上牌，实则积压滞销。巴西、欧洲、以色列、南非、泰国等地也都是这种情况。

电动车行业在国内也暴露出不少问题。另外视频里出现的小鹏汽车，还因车辆事故陷入了不小的麻烦。

rogergaudette9511
They haven't caught up, they surpassed.

中国早已实现反超，不只是追上而已。

tony_25or6to4
That's it even crazy. You should have seen Guangzhou 20-30 years ago. And 15 years ago, you couldn't see a 300 feet and you eyes and lungs would burn because if the smog.

如今的变化实在惊人。二三十年前的广州完全是另一番模样。就在十五年前，雾霾严重的时候，能见度不足百米，眼睛和呼吸道都会被呛得难受。

rossr6616
yeah, was there 40 years ago, very few private cars, just some minivans used as taxs, cadre in PLA green Mercedes; still low rise old city buildings, walked everywhere, three guys in Mao suits following me everywhere
New roads being built had guys with picks creating the gravel for roadbed from large stones!
AMAZING what happened in only 40 years, lots of very hard work by Chinese people.

我四十年前去过那里，当时私家车寥寥无几，路上只有一些面包车当出租车，干部坐着军绿色的奔驰车。城里大多是低矮的老建筑，人们出行基本靠步行。还有三位身着中山装的人一直跟着我。那时候修建新路，工人们还要用镐头把大石头敲碎，做成铺路的碎石。

短短四十年，中国就发生了翻天覆地的变化，这离不开中国民众的辛勤付出。

unsearchablethings8167
I landed in Beiing and had a layover. The whole place was like a forest fire and even inside the airport it smelled like it was on fire. You literally couldn't see more than a few hundred feet. That was about 10 years ago.

大约十年前，我在北京机场转机。当时雾霾漫天，到处都弥漫着呛人的气味，机场里面也不例外，能见度只有几百米。

fredpinczuk7352
Those days are gone. Shanghai is getting better and better as well.

那样的日子早已过去，上海的环境也变得越来越好。

It’s like driving in Managua, Nicaragua minus the surprise potholes.

在这里开车，体验就和尼加拉瓜的马那瓜差不多，只不过路上不会突然冒出大坑。

China is living in 2046 with those stop lights

单看那些智能红绿灯，感觉中国已经步入2046年的发展水平了。

itechiwizard83
Even scooter Riders get the count down on their bikes if they are modern scooters, otherwise of course all Chinese map apps are integrated with the infrastructure so you can see it on the maps too.

新款电动车也能显示红绿灯倒计时。就算车辆没有这个功能，国内各类地图软件也和交通设施打通了，在手机上同样能查看倒计时。

Fabulousprofound168
I was in Shezhen back in 1999 and even then they had stoplight counters… but of course it was the 90’s so they didn’t have sat navigation to help time your approach like this one can. And my ride back then was a clapped out Volkswagen Quantum taxcab which couldn’t be any more further from this Xpeng

我1999年去过深圳，那时候当地就有红绿灯倒计时装置了。只不过当年没有如今这样智能的导航来配合控车。

我当时坐的是一辆破旧的大众出租车，和视频里的小鹏汽车有着天壤之别。

diegoweisselrovira
No America is blocking chinese EV's, but a country called USA. America is welcoming chinese with open arms!

并不是美洲地区抵制中国电动车，而是美国这个国家在搞封锁。美洲其他地方还是十分欢迎中国产品的。

octorkew7913
If our stop lights had count-downs like China and Vietnam, drag racing would be the fastest growing sport in America... (BTW: Lanes are suggestions...)

如果美国红绿灯也像中、越两国一样配备倒计时，街头飙车恐怕会变成最流行的玩乐项目。顺带一提，在美国，车道划分基本形同虚设。

I visited Guangzhou in the 80's. They had literally just opened their country up to tourism. Two things that seem to have happened to you, happened to me, too! Firstly, next to no-one there had seen a white guy, let alone a 6'3" white guy with super curly hair. Everywhere we went, people were staring at us. Even in the tax, people would bend down to look inside the tax when we were stopped at a light.
Secondly, speaking of taxs, we had one tax driver for nearly 6 hours, and were charged about the equivalent of $15 today.
I really liked the city!! From your video clearly so much has changed. Yet some things don't seem to have, either!

我八十年代去过广州，那时候当地刚对外开放旅游。我也遇到了和博主相似的两件事。

第一，当时当地人几乎没见过外国人，更何况我身高一米九、还有一头浓密卷发。走到哪都有人盯着我们看，等红灯时，路人还会俯身往出租车里张望。

第二，我连续坐了将近六个小时的出租车，折算成现在的美元，车费也就十五美元左右。

我特别喜欢这座城市。看完能明显看出，广州变化巨大，但也有一些地方依旧保留着往日的模样。

This is what happens when your government invests in the economy rather than war.

一个国家把资金投入经济发展，而非耗费在战争上，就会迎来这样的发展成果。

khaotickid
There's a reason US automakers are lobbying for the government to ban these

美国车企纷纷游说政府限制中国电动车，这背后是有原因的。

gabrielctxb847
Here in Brazil, there used to be a lot of myths and skepticism around Chinese cars. But now we have several brands here, like BYD, GWM, Geely, and Ora, and they’re quickly taking over local sales, pushing down traditional brands like Fiat, Volkswagen, Chevrolet, Renault, and Citroen.
It’s also becoming more and more common to see EVs in cities — even in small towns. Chinese cars usually offer way more features for the same price as these “traditional” competitors, many of which feel like they’ve barely evolved over the years.

在巴西，以前很多人对中国汽车抱有偏见、心存质疑。如今比亚迪、长城、吉利、欧拉等多个国产品牌入驻本地，销量一路走高，挤压了菲亚特、大众、雪佛兰、雷诺、雪铁龙等传统车企的市场份额。

现在不管是大城市还是小城镇，电动车都随处可见。同等价位下，中国汽车的配置要丰富得多，反观那些老牌车企，多年来几乎没什么创新。
