China is the biggest market for electric cars
Jan 9^th, 2016 at 12:09pm

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 is already the world's largest automobile market and sales in the country are key to the success of global car makers.
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.

At 1.5B people did you expect them to be smallest market?

The only thing that would have a small market would be halal food

Any muzzies in China understand terrorism activities will have consequences to them, their immediate families, extended families and friends

In times like this the Chinese way seems to work in curbing muzzies

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

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

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 Sad
