In the first 10 months of this year, sales of electric cars surged 290pc year-on-year to 171,145, according to the association's data.

Technology will come from China because the government is supporting the industry, and because it could be at least a partial solution to pollution.

China is forecast to become the world's biggest electric car market this year, with sales estimated at 220,000 to 250,000 vehicles, the official news agency Xinhua said on Sunday, quoting the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. Worldwide electric cars sales are expected to increase to 600,000 this year, association deputy secretary-general Xu Yanhua told an industry conference. China is tipped to surpass the US as the world's biggest electric car market, she said, putting the American market at an estimated 180,000 vehicles.

China's electric-car industry is developing rapidly, but quality and not just quantity should be the focus for the development to be sustainable, Ms Xu said. Safety and the quality of batteries should be carefully supervised, she added. The industry saw explosive growth in the past two years, thanks to supportive government policies, including subsidies and tax cuts.

Maqqa has over-dosed its ugly pills. Medical adviser said Maqqa could discontinue ugly pills because he could not get uglier than he is.

Sun has fallen from the top of the 100 meters ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down

Actually Holden had a chance to adopt it but squibbed it back in 2000 ! The rest is history now :(

Quote:

Yesterday the Government announced that it would be inject $35 million into a new Toyota hybrid car, the move has prompted many to query the fate of the Ecommodore. Produced by Holden and the CSIRO, the Ecommodore was the first all-Australian hybrid car and the VIP vehicle of the Sydney Olympics, but quickly disappeared.

What a disgrace these foreign car companies have been here :(

Maybe it was just a green painted Commodore with foot pedal propulsion. They couldn't name it the Flintstone because that name was already coprighted.

Pure electrinic bus was on road about 4 years ago in China. It's widely operated as city bus service in major cities now.

I know we're 'behind', but we're trying to catch up.

Which then begs the questions "Is the map accurate?", "Does it show only currently installed stations?"

Stations without current aren't much good.

The reliance on everything chinese

If Gnads had any value or use the Chinese would have copied him and mass produced clones. to use as hat stands, dog pissoirs and door stops.

Gnads clone would be cheaper than cobbling something out of rusty scrap iron.
