Transportation Sector Ripe for Transformation, Federal Officials Say
Transportation and energy officials stress the mobility industry is in the throes of being reinvented, on a scale not seen in more than a century.
The public policy needs to be developed and coordinated with cities as well as rural areas because the needs, and even cultures, differ. The issue of transitioning EVs in rural and exurban areas is one U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also seemed sensitive to.
“Because of how electric vehicles code, politically and culturally, they might not be seen as obvious candidates for this work,” said Buttigieg, also speaking at the TRB conference, as he called to mind the somewhat caricatured image of EV drivers as well-to-do liberals on the East and West coasts.
“We really need to continue to have a strategy that fits all of these different geographies, meets them where they are,” he added.
World’s Largest EV Maker China’s BYD Ready for U. S. Launch: Would You Buy One?
China’s leading EV manufacturer is an industrial giant. BYD, which stands for “Build Your Dreams,” is China’s largest manufacturer of EVs. It has clicked back a notch from entering the U.S. market with U.S-China tensions on the rise.
Even without sales in the U.S., it plans on hitting three million sales by 2025. At that pace, 10 million vehicles a year should come by 2030. For that goal, it would have to be sold in the U.S. It is already sold in Norway, Australia, Britain, Brazil, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and Singapore.
Battery and electric motor supplies are no problem for the Chinese. It can do it all from supplying its own components to development, manufacturing, and distribution. But coming to America will need to happen, and BYD is banking on its vertical integration and price advantage to take a big chunk of its EV sales to here.
