EV Channels Review

Daniel Wu joins The InEVitable to discuss China's burgeoning EV market and the AI-centric Ji Yue 01. Wu highlights the rapid adoption of EVs in China, noting that green license plates are now common on highways, with approximately 40% of vehicles being electric. He was particularly impressed by the Ji Yue 01, a "robocar" developed by a Geely and Baidu partnership. Wu describes its advanced AI capabilities, including voice commands that control various functions, and its Level 4 autonomous driving potential, though not yet activated for retail. He also touches on the vehicle's impressive design, a $30,000 price point, and a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds. The discussion also covers the broader Chinese automotive landscape, including the GT Show, the evolution of local brands, and the shift towards tech and user experience over raw performance. Wu contrasts this with traditional Western automotive priorities and shares his personal racing experiences.
