Due to its enormous economy and population, automakers have conformed to California’s rules.

Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, commonly known as California’s Lemon Law, automakers are required to pay for legal work, court fees and related expenses associated with defective vehicles.

CATL, another Chinese battery company, is looking to build factories in partnership with American automakers.
