We have put together stories from our coverage on electric and new energy vehicles from the past two weeks to help you stay informed. If you would like to see more of our reporting, please consider subscribing.
1. ‘Soft landing’: China, EU see progress in EV dispute with price floor option
Beijing and Brussels last week announced a milestone in resolving their years-long trade dispute over Chinese electric vehicles, with the European Union releasing guidance set to address the countervailing tariffs it levied in 2024.
2. Chinese electric vehicle makers eye Western markets as trade barriers fall
This year is likely to be a watershed one for the global drive by Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers, as more Western countries open up their markets to high-performance made-in-China models.
3. BYD’s win, Tesla’s defeat, Ford’s pivot: the widening gap in US-China EV markets

After years of competing head-to-head with China in electric vehicles, the United States is now widely seen as falling behind – a reality increasingly acknowledged even within Detroit.
4. China’s Xpeng unveils hybrid SUV boasting world’s longest driving distance
Chinese electric vehicle (EV) giant Xpeng Motors has launched a new hybrid version of its G7 that it says offers the world’s longest range among SUVs, capable of covering the distance from Seattle to Los Angeles without charging.
5. China’s subsidy change adds to EV makers’ stress, while petrol cars gain

Growth momentum in the mainland Chinese car market may shift from battery-powered to petrol-based models this year on account of a revised subsidy policy, exacerbating a bearish profit outlook for the country’s 50-odd electric vehicle (EV) builders.
6. Xpeng’s flying car unit readies Hong Kong IPO for take-off
Aridge, the affiliate of Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng formerly known as AeroHT, is likely to spearhead a listing bonanza of flying car businesses in Hong Kong as its share offering plan edges closer to the runway.
7. Xiaomi’s refreshed SU7 turns up the heat on Tesla in China’s EV race

Xiaomi, one of Tesla’s biggest challengers in mainland China over the past year, has unveiled a refreshed version of its fully electric sedan capable of travelling more than 900km (560 miles) on a single charge, as it seeks to stay ahead of intensifying competition.
