It is estimated that China’s subsidies for its domestic industries are extraordinarily high, ranging from 3-9 times compared to that of other OECD countries. BYD in particular is estimated to have received 2.1 billion EUR in 2022 in direct subsidies alone. This figure is understood to be understated due to additional indirect assistance such as cheaper access to batteries etc.

For comparison, Tesla is estimated to have received around 2.8 billion USD in combined state, local and federal subsidies, with an additional 460 million USD in the form of bailouts and loan assistance, in total to date.
