    Jan 24 2025

BYD focused on affordability, vertical integration, and massive government support in China, selling 1.8 million EVs in 2022. Unlike Tesla's luxury-first approach, BYD made EVs accessible for the masses. They even make 75% of their car parts in-house, including their own batteries. Now, with Warren Buffett backing and global expansion underway, BYD is shaping the future of electric cars. Can they dominate the international market like they've conquered China?

    Who Controls Rare Earths Controls the Future – Here’s Why It Matters to You
    Jan 17 2025
    Why does China dominate the rare earth market? It’s a calculated strategy shaping industries like EVs, defense, and tech. Rare earth elements, such as neodymium and dysprosium, power EV motors, smartphones, and more.
    China gained control by investing in mining and refining, while other nations focused on short-term profits and faced environmental challenges. Now, with global demand soaring, China is buying mines worldwide to secure supply, leaving industries vulnerable to disruptions. Learn how this impacts you and what steps can reduce dependency on China’s supply chain. Listen to The Motor Files for the full breakdown.
