With the Drop in Electric Car Sales and Sudden Increase in Diesel Vehicle Sales, China Decided to Reduce Its Investments in the Electric Industry

The rising demand for diesel cars and the decline in electric cars reflects the global recovery of China’s economy and, in particular, its domestic automotive market. The Chinese government demonstrates a desire to be a leader in electric auto technology and is supporting the industry with subsidies, cancellation of registration restrictions, and the construction of a robust charging infrastructure for this type of vehicle.

From January to November 2020, sales of 100% electric cars grew by 4.4% compared to the previous year, a figure that contrasts with the 7.6% decline in passenger car sales, according to the Chinese government.

However, by the end of 2020 and the beginning of this year, Chinese manufacturers reported a 12% increase in diesel car sales.
