China’s massive fleet of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) seems to be acting as a buffer against volatility in international energy markets by cutting the Asian nation’s demand for oil. Although China is the largest importer of crude oil in the world, the ongoing Hormuz Strait closure isn’t affecting the country like past energy crises. With tens of millions of electric cars on Chinese roads, China just doesn’t have as much demand for oil as it used to.

While battery-electric vehicles continue to improve, hydrogen fuel cell technology continues to gain support in heavy-duty transportation. Buses and trucks that require long driving ranges, quick refueling, and reliable operation are creating new demand for green hydrogen, particularly where battery-powered alternatives remain less practical.
