EU is likely going to put tariffs on Chinese BEVs pretty soon. My personal take has always been that BEVs are merely a ploy by the CCP to gain marketshare in Western markets. Beyond that, there is no real interest by Chinese automakers, and likely they will abandon BEVs the moment it becomes convenient for them.

Fuel economy rules will basically follow whatever the average fuel economy of new cars will be. It's pretty clear that Biden has mostly given up on forcing BEV adoption via this mechanism.

There's already more battery production capacity than the world will likely need for a very long time. No company should be projecting massive growth.
