NEV Penetration Breaks 64%, China's Auto Market Enters Post-Growth Era

Yet the other side of the coin is equally stark: H1 auto industry profit margins fell to 3.8%, the lowest in a decade; purchase tax exemptions were halved; and the EU imposed anti-subsidy tariffs up to 45.3%. The competitive logic has fundamentally shifted from who runs faster to who stands firmer.
