Uber CEO: "The innovation of China's electric vehicles is beyond imagination!"
On September 22, the South Korean media "Today Digital" published an article stating that Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi praised the innovation in China's electric vehicle industry, saying it has put great pressure on American automakers.
Khosrowshahi mentioned the Chinese electric vehicle model during a recent program, calling it "unbelievably good." Ford CEO Jim Farley also admitted that the technology and quality of Chinese electric vehicles are far ahead of Western companies.
Khosrowshahi attributed the competition in China's electric vehicle industry to fierce internal competition rather than government support. He analyzed, "Every major city in China is striving to promote the success of local electric vehicle companies, and there are currently over 100整车厂 participating in the competition," and "this top-down competition accelerates innovation." He also pointed out, "The companies that have survived in China are strong enterprises that have emerged from fierce competition," and specifically mentioned Geely and BYD.
At the same time, as part of its sustainable strategy, Uber is accelerating the introduction of electric vehicles. In July this year, Uber invested $300 million in electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid, and Lucid will produce Uber autonomous taxis.
