We're deep diving into automotives and the Chinese EV market.

This is Motley Fool Money.

Welcome to Motley Fool Money with the Hidden Gems team.

I'm Tyler Crowe.

Today, I'm joined by longtime Fool contributors Lou Whiteman and Jason Hall, who's pulling in some spot duty for us.

This is kind of a wonky week for us.

Several of us are going to be attending a special Motley Fool member event and involve some travel.

So we're going to do a special deep dive into the Chinese electric vehicle market.

We got a listener question related to this, and we thought it would be a great time to kind of dive into this.

So our question came in from Frederick May.

The question is, I hope you're all doing well.

I'm really intrigued by the developments we're seeing in the Chinese electric vehicle sector lately.

I would love to hear your thoughts on a few things in the next podcast.

I'm curious about your perspectives on Chinese EVs with pricing pressure in China, Europe still having tariffs on Chinese EVs, etc.

Chinese EV companies have become a real boogeyman for the industry.

The U.S.

and Europe have put up barriers for Chinese auto manufacturers in the form of tariffs, outright bans.

Both BYD and Geely have overtaken Tesla in terms of global EV sales, while companies like SAIC, Chang'an, and Cherry have all vaulted in the top 10 and are really growing quite fast.

I want to start with this question for both of you guys.

What's in the sauce?
