How did China become the world's fastest-moving electric vehicle ecosystem?

In this CEIBS Spotlight, CEIBS Associate Professor of Strategy Changhyun Kim explains the hidden system powering China's EV revolution — a modular manufacturing ecosystem that allows companies to build cutting-edge electric vehicles faster than ever before.

He explores:

• How China's EV ecosystem enables companies to build cars faster than traditional automakers
• The modular manufacturing revolution transforming the automotive industry
• How companies like Xiaomi leveraged China's supply chain to launch cutting-edge EVs
• The shift from mechanical engineering to software-defined vehicles
• Why the future of manufacturing competition will be about ecosystems and platforms, not factories

This transformation is reshaping the global EV race, forcing legacy automakers to rethink how they design, build, and compete in the next generation of mobility.
