>None of these apply for Europe or US, and I am doutbful they can make a swift transition like China can.

If the US government would allow Chinese EV car makers to enter the market without friction, the price of EVs in the US would drop rapidly. But I think the anti-China smearing campaign and protectionist policies do a good job of preventing that.

This. VW has to sell their EVs at 16 - 17K to compete in China, they sell the same for more than 2x in other markets.
