Chinese automakers face a practical constraint that regulation alone won't solve: EVs have become so heavy that they exceed parking space weight limits and damage infrastructure in dense urban areas. This is a real estate problem forcing engineers to choose between battery capacity, autonomous features, and usability. Companies that deliver performance without the mass penalty stand to gain ground. The market is beginning to separate weight-conscious design from feature-rich bloat, and whoever solves this first gains advantage in China's price-sensitive mass market.
