Kia Australia CEO says Chinese car brands will be Top Five in 2 - 3 years
Kia Australia CEO says Chinese car brands will be Top Five in 2 - 3 years
P.S. The management of KIA and other legacy automakers can only blame themselves: Tesla has been working successfully for a long time; LFP battery technology has been known for a long time; already in 2018, it was completely clear that EVs and LFP battery technology works well, and it is a new sector in which Chinese car companies are preparing to attract interest to a new car price-sensitive buyers.
"Legacy automakers" wasted no time trying to tell politicians and their consumers that there was no way to develop "cheap" mass market electric car production technology, even though the real EV market was convincingly showing that a well-functioning electric car SUITABLE FOR THE MASS BUYER is a real thing soon, very soon!!!
The Australian and British auto market is actually a very good examples of how legacy automakers will be pushed out of the car manufacturing business if legacy companies continue to engage in the useless overpriced "compliance" EVs business strategy. There is no big demand for overpriced, low production rate compliance EVs.

*pokes you* narrative structure book rant?
Hi Lou, thank you for the poke, ily!!
Okay this can all be roughly summed up by saying that when you've got a book series, the end of a novel should really give you the feeling of, this story has ended, but the saga continues. And I read a few books recently that really left me with the feeling of, haha, gotcha! you thought you were getting a conclusion, didn't you, you dumbass! And I gotta be honest, that,, makes me very frustrated.
(To be clear, this isn't a "I hate cliffhangers" rant, because those can be really fun and effective... when they're used to continue a bigger story in tandem with the resolution of a smaller story. Hopefully that makes sense with the rest of the rant.)
I'm putting the rest of this under a read more so people can scroll past if they want to. There's what will probably become a very long rant below the cut :)
Okay, so with a book series, generally you either have an overarching story that stretches between novels, or you have many different stories that are somewhat unrelated, but based around a common theme/setting/cast/etc. In the second case, it should be pretty self explanatory that you want your individual novels to have resolution- you're not continuing those plot threads into another novel, so obviously you want them tied up.
But the other case... that's the one where I get frustrated.
Suppose you've got a story with an arc that looks something like this:
(I know this isn't how most plot diagrams look but i'm keeping it simply because this is me making powerpoint diagrams at one in the morning, please be patient with me)
Suppose you're writing a three book series that covers that bigger story arc. In that case, I would expect your books to structure out something like this:
Each book has its own exposition, conflict, and resolution, while simultaneously contributing to the bigger arc around it- the overarching plot of the series. The first book might be a bit expositon heavy, and the last might have some heavy lifting to do when it comes to resolving things, but overall, every book is telling a story within a story. Substories, if you will.
What I've been seeing instead that frustrated me so much is something like this:
In this one, I made each book a line segment, although it's not usually that extreme. Usually.
This is where you read book one, and they keep introducing things, and you can see the threads of a really interesting conflict, and then right at the end of the book, you get a whole torrent of events that leaves you feeling a bit overwhelmed and a bit lied to. The first book has no resolution- just a lot of exposition and a lot of introducing conflict.
Book two, by comparison, has a lot of the action of the series. It's where characters start solving the problems, confronting things, having their big "aha" moments. It probably leads up to some major confrontation, or a big cliffhanger- you're right on the verge of a resolution, and most of the heavy lifting has been done, but you're not. quite. there. Despite a lot happening in this book, it might feel a bit flat overall (see diagram), or it might not. It's probably the best book in the series.
Book three gets all of the resolution. I'm not putting a lot here about book three, because tbh I'm surprised if I make it through book two once I've been angry enough about book one.
Some GOOD examples of series structure:
Pretty much every cosmere series. Each one clearly has its own structure to it, even as it plays a bigger role in the plot of the series. Look at the Stormlight Archive! The Way of Kings is exposition heavy, but NO ONE can say that there isn't payoff for all that work by the end of book one. And The Well of Ascension could definitely be considered a cliffhanger with the things that go down at the end, but it's nonetheless a story that resolves, even if the series is clearly amping up.
The Scholomance! Every book has its own story going on, and the main conflict of the novel is resolved by the time the novel ends. There are still problems to solve, and they'll definitely be addressed- but the immediate problem has been dealt with.
Some BAD examples of series structure:
Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: End Game. I'm putting this here even though it isn't a book series because it just captures the point so. perfectly. You think you're walking into a superhero movie. They spend a lot of time building up this conflict, and more time building up fanservice and massive action sequences, and have this big moment of emotional payoff where you think they were able to stop Thanos, then- GOTCHA! They lose! Everyone dies! The end! Oh but don't worry, there's another movie coming out :)) NO. If you were going to do this, call it "Infinity War Part 1". Don't give us an incomplete narrative and call it a complete movie. AGH.
The Atlas Six. Gotta be honest, I didn't enjoy this one for a couple of reasons, but a BIG one was the way that it all felt like a setup when you got to the end. Without spoiling anything for folks who haven't read it, I felt like I had just read a prequel for a book that hadn't been released. A lot of exposition, a lot of time spent building up these characters and their interactions sometimes not very well, but that's a different rant only for it to be one big GOTCHA! at the end. It was like reading a comic expecting a superhero story, only for it to be the hero's tragic backstory, up to and no further than the point that they decide to do something with the cards they've been dealt.
Unless you're labeling something with "Part 1," people are going to expect a story to resolve, and when you don't deliver on that, they're going to be disappointed. It's the same way that you would be upset if you turned on a romcom, and got to the end without the two main characters ever meeting- although at the very end, you see them both walking towards the same coffee shop, so maybe something will happen. Eventually.
Whenever I see something like this, I often end up thinking to myself, "This isn't meant to be a first novel in a series. This is meant to be the first part in a several-part epic. This is a prologue that got turned into a novel so that people wouldn't be intimidated by the size of the book, or because trilogies are selling well right now, or whatever explanation you want to pick."
Let it resolve. Leave a few threads to connect to the next novel in the series, but let it resolve. The characters win the battle, but perhaps they're losing the war. The characters lost the battle, but they've discovered something that promises to turn the tide. The characters have solved the mystery, but there are a few things that don't add up and they're sure there's more beneath the surface. All great resolutions! All lead into the next story! But there's a whole lot of stories that will go for shock value and lack of resolution so they can get you to buy the next volume. And nothing makes me angrier at a book than when an author tries to pull one over on the reader instead of actually doing the work to structure a story.
