German Car Makers vs. China in the EV Race 🚗 | Who Will Lead?

Can German carmakers outshine their Chinese rivals in the EV race? It turns out that it’s not just about technology — it’s also about design and identity. After attending the IAA Mobility Show 2025 in Munich, our Editor-in-Chief, Dhruv Behl, explains what sets the Germans apart from the rest. From BMW’s new-age iX3 Neue Klasse to Mercedes-Benz’s GLC EV, Dhruv breaks down how these brands are using their heritage to redefine electric mobility — while many Chinese EVs, like XPeng’s P7 and G6, risk blending into a sea of sameness.
