WATCH | Are German automakers in trouble as China takes over with EVs?

China is soaring ahead with electric vehicles. BYD (Build Your Dreams automaker) has already trumped Volkswagen with sales. Dubbed as China's Tesla, the automaker is also set to bring a more affordable electric vehicle to South Africa during 2023.

Chinese automakers like BYD develop and build their own innovative batteries and chips, giving them an edge over German and other carmakers. 

The future of the German auto industry will be decided in China. Win-win or meltdown for German manufacturers - who will win the global duel for dominance in the multi-billion "mobility" business?
