With the global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, electric vehicles (EVs) have become a focal point of international economic and industrial transformation. However, amidst intensifying geopolitical conflicts, the global electric vehicle industry, not only in China but also globally, faces unprecedented challenges. This study, focusing on BYD and Tesla, explores the shift in the global EV industry from a policy-driven to a market-driven one. The study also incorporates the theory of disruptive innovation to analyze how Tesla and BYD initially entered the market from niche segments and disrupted established industry structures through technological innovation or price advantages. Through comparative analysis, this study further reveals how the trade and economic policies of various countries intertwine with their innovation pathways to shape the strategic positions of enterprises within the global EV value chain. In the current highly uncertain geopolitical landscape, the future development of the EV industry will be constrained by multiple factors, including energy structure, environmental sustainability, and international trade policies. The comparison between BYD and Tesla not only highlights two fundamentally different development and innovation models but also reflects the structural challenges and potential opportunities faced by the global EV industry during its transformation process. |
