Electric vehicles are more heavily subsidized in China than America. 22% of new car sales in China are electric vs 1% in America. China also has a lot of tariffs and regulations preventing foreign competition.

You don't need a monte carlo simulation if you have a known distribution. You can just add the means and variances and solve the equation rather than approximating it with a simulation. Monte carlo is more useful when drawing from an unknown distribution.
