Maybe it's my tinfoil hat that's getting a bit tight here but...

The Chinese are fighting an obesity epidemic like most of the western world, but they have to import all the GLP-1 drugs from companies outside China. They know this will cost a fortune, just look at the US with Novo's ozempic/wegovy. But soon Eli Lilly will have a similar product on the market, and that will be the same for China. They'll have to fork over billions to economic/political adversaries for these drugs, so they want to keep that under control. This is not because they care for anyone's health and safety.

When has anyone ever cared about (total) range of a PHEV/ICE? It'll be a 5min stop for another 600 miles on pretty much every PHEV/ICE out there anyway. It's a pointless metric for that type of vehicle.

My money is on Orwellian power move...

overseas territories would probably be island states, so they're unlikely to have a land border to any country at all. But sure, maybe there is some. But then the Danish/Canadian border would count too, making it untrue for Denmark as well.

That true...so it doesn't even share every land border with the eurozone! 😅

"Every land border"...There is only one...

Edit: and looking at a map, actually several countries have "every land border" to eurozone countries. Portugal, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg all fit that one, several with multiple land borders even. That's 30% of the eurozone countries.

It's not really that central, every single eurozone country is south of Denmark. Denmark is only at the periphery of the eurozone.

And making it secure against driving away

They have "pin to drive" so you can't drive even if you've gained access to the vehicle, without entering the pin-code first.

paying $230/mWh

That's milliwatt hours, and not megawatt hours. Capital M for mega, lower case m for milli in units.

Or maybe prices are just 230.000.000.000 USD/MWh...do you happen to live in Texas?
