On February 13 local time, California Governor Kevin Newsom was asked about his views on the development of China's electric vehicle industry while attending the 62nd Munich Security Conference.
Newsom replied that the Chinese are "not joking" in the field of electric vehicle R&D. He expressed admiration for China's confidence and determination in developing electric vehicles.
In addition, Newsom said that the current U.S. federal government is essentially sentencing the domestic automotive industry to death.

California Governor Kevin Newsom:
"70% of the world's electric vehicles come from China, which is a national industry for China. The Chinese are not joking. I say this out of admiration. Electric vehicles in China are no longer just cheap; they are developing five-minute fast-charging technology, which can fully charge your SUV in just five minutes. This is a technological capability based on hardware.
We all know the trend of market development, and China is even more clear about it. Take a close look at China's economic growth last year, and you will see that the clean energy sector has grown significantly. This relates to economic prosperity and competitiveness.
The U.S. government has just passed a regulation to abolish the 'hazard determination,' effectively eliminating all federal regulatory rules, including those related to power plants and methane emissions, as well as car exhaust emissions. I believe this is a death sentence for U.S. automakers."
