here, I wrote about how BYD used 3D Printing for aluminum to really make U9X even more light weight and faster than U9. It's truly impressive to see how fast iteration of 3D Printing and AI allows for these perfectly optimized structures.

from earlier plans due to automaker complaints, leaving China with the strictest emissions in the world.

China should just ban ICE cars

It would be enough to ban ICE inside major cities I think. But this can be done in 5 years time when there is more EV penetration to make the transition less painful.

Entire north (Dongbei - Inner mongolia - Xingjiang) will be very unhappy, especially outside of big cities.

No need. The EV adoption is happening organically.

In the center/south. There's still a lot of blue plates in the north and they'll need some prodding.

I think cold weather related range reduction could be mitigated by the use of heat pumps in EVs.

PHEVs don't have range anxiety issues. I saw no shortage of PHEVs in Beijing.

Or wait for sodium batteries.

EVs are very common in Norway. 90% of new car sold are EVs there. It seems that the Norwegians have learned how to use EVs properly in cold winters. Perhaps the northern mainlanders can do it as well?

Indoor parking in well-insulated and gently climate-controlled structure does most of the heavy lifting. Doesn't need to be excessive energy consumption either. Just recommend not letting the structure interior get cooler than 10C in the dead of winter and no hotter than 30C in the peak of summer. That would be enough to preserve battery cycle life.
