The Chinese market is still selling a huge amount of its EV production to the Internal Domestic market.
This will continue with EV subsidies of $15k per car and fast Liscence plate orders. Where as the ICE cars have long waiting times to register and obtain Liscence plates.

GM and Tesla have to ramp up production to rival Chinese producers. Thats why Tesla has been planning to manufacture in China for the last two years. Able to circumvent expensive import tarriffs and production labour. Will be interesting to see how Tesla fairs. Recently the foriegn owned batterry makers in China were cut off from the lucrative govt subsidies. Tesla needs 3 to 5 game plans to thrive and survive in China.

Germany even scrambling to forge direct links with the West Australian Lithium and Cobalt producers.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjGyInDo5LXAhWEKpQKHQIGBgwQFggkMAA&url=https://thewest.com.au/business/trade/germany-president-heading-to-wa-in-major-trade-push-ng-b88555709z&usg=AOvVaw2NSdvk_5Id2F4_A6EHg7Wa
