You are comparing Tesla, a full electric car maker to « Chinese cars » which includes multiple brands and all engine types. Only one-third of the cars that the Chinese carmakers sold in Europe during the first quarter were electric.

The article title is a bit sensational. The share of the market for all Chinese EV is 5,6%. It’s not ( yet ? ) a tsunami.

I am not sure but I am guessing in Germany we love cash and mostly do not donate via apps. As far as I am concerned, we donate via monthly bank transfers…

It is not contradicting it actually. The article you refer to is doing a comparison between Q1 2024 and Q1 2025. it‘s very early estimation on a quarter. I am referring to full 2024 vs 2023. but certainly many articles estimates a possible reduction in 2025. this would be a great example for the world.

Here are some sources : https://climateanalytics.org/comment/new-gas-and-oil-has-prevented-co2-global-emissions-from-peaking https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/25/chinas-missed-emissions-target-poses-challenge-to-global-climate-efforts https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-global-co2-emissions-will-reach-new-high-in-2024-despite-slower-growth/

Emissions have risen in 2024 in China. First estimates put it at +0,8%. It is for sure good considering a GDP growth at +5% but it is not a fall. It is also not the first time. It happened during COVID. There is only a fall on certain months/periods… US saw a decrease of -0,4% and EU had -2,9% (following a -8,5% in 2023) World +0,8%. All time high.
