Is EV Stalling? US vs. China Competition
Jinhua Zhao
Professor of Cities and Transportation
Founder, MIT Mobility Initiative
Professor Zhao will explore the divergent paths of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in the United States and China, examining the structural, policy, and market forces driving these trends. While the U.S. faces a temporary slowing down in EV growth, China has rapidly advanced, achieving substantial market penetration and exporting vehicles globally. Zhao will analyze the critical factors behind China’s EV success, including policy support, extensive investment, infrastructure, industry partnerships, consumer preference and a comprehensive EV ecosystem. Zhao will also discuss the implications of these trends for the global decarbonization and the geopolitical landscape of the automotive sector.
