I fail to see a specific news, the article cite a single example of a failed BEV OEM, there are many, it's perfectly normal that some are not good enough to survive. In our golden age of automotive we have had countless automakers, most have failed some have skyrocketed...

Aside overcapacity should be synonymous of low prices, I still wait to see here in EU prices like in the BRICS area for products imported from China. An example a BYD Atto 3 here cost a bit less than 40k€ while in Thailand cost a bit less than 10k€ https://asia.nikkei.com/content/1f9ed40b4b44745e1a39fafaf94b... such price delta have no justification in mere free market economical terms, have only political justifications NONE OF THEM acceptable by the civil society. I still wait to see LFP batteries prices drops like in China to have a well-sized home battery at a price cheap enough to make buying it convenient, let's say 50kWh for 5k€. Let's say 15kW p.v. inverter for 1.5k€ etc.

If China manufacturers goes broke we customers do the same in EU, and I suspect in USA to, simply to enrich some local cleptocrats.
