When you picture an electric car here in the U.S., you probably think of a Tesla.
It has dominated the EV market in the States for years.
But Elon Musk's car company is now lagging behind a Chinese rival that many Americans may have never heard of.
It's called BYD, and it surpassed Tesla to become the largest seller of EV cars in the world.
You can find their factory in Brazil, their buses on the streets of London, their dealerships in Morocco or Mexico.
Despite being effectively shut out of the American market, China has quietly become
the global powerhouse of EV production, leading the industry in technology, innovation and scale.

Well, wonderful.
