The story of China’s electric vehicle industry

China has become a world leader in making and buying Electric
Vehicles (EV), somehow under the radar. In fact, China today
produces 54% of total EVs globally and with an even higher share
for EV batteries. 


How did China get there? In this episode of The Sound of
Economics, Giuseppe Porcaro sits down with Alicia García-Herrero
and Zeyi Yang to explore China’s EV industry. Together they
discuss the country’s rapid rise in the market, its advancement
on battery technology, as well as geopolitical implications with
a growing chorus calling for de-risking.
