As EV race heats up, Germany finds itself falling behind pack leaders

Germany’s auto industry has hit a bump in the road, as its cars and manufacturing methods fall behind those of competitors in the U.S. and China.

德国汽车工业正经历史上最严峻的危机，在中国市场份额五年间从25%跌至12%，而中国车企在欧洲迅速扩张。专家认为，自满与对电动化、新制造技术的忽视是主因，德国车企正试图通过裁员、游说放宽电动车目标和“在中国为中国”策略应对。
