In Chinese, you need to use some online translation help

Not sure currently, whether the Chinese gov. cut the subsidies for EV companies, but I am sure they are not eliminating the subsidies.
It is the strong lobby power of the big Foreign car companies in China causes the Double point system delay, which is Very Heavy Subsidies for EV industry in China. I will NOT be surprised if some Han Jian/corrupted officials got bought by those crook multinational companies and get caught later.
You mentioned about Tesla the other day. They are nothing but trying to increase their sales to rich Chinese. Their US sales going down the drain. Q3 was planning to make/sell 1500 cars, but actually only made 220. Why? NOT because any production issue, but because NO one buy their cars! Their annual sales is 80K ONLY at the moment. It is a joke, and will NEVER make a ripple in Chinese EV market.
Another problem is their Charging station is unique, NOT compatible with other brand or models of EV. I hope the Chinese gov. has some regulation in place (may already there), and Require EVERY single EV companies who producing EV in China making the charging system compatible ( just like they did for ALL cell phones sold in China. Good for the consumers, and good for the environment), so they can share all the public charging stations.
Chinese gov. has been building the public charging stations for EV like crazy since 2016. The total # of charging Stand (means individual charging stand) in China as of late 2016 is 150K, 100K of them were built in 2016. In whole Europe, now there are 106K. In the U.S., only 40K, and Japan, only 20K.
Right now, Tesla has opening for 8 so-called engineer positions, but MOST of the 8 position are Sales position. They are a joke. That CEO has a very BAD reputation in China, many Chinese call him a Scam artist, and for a REASON.
Tesla is a brand in EV like iPhone in cell phone, ONLY thousands of times more expensive. Look at iPhone 8, now FEW suckers in China are interested in it.
As for the new EV sale data in China, I guess only Chinese source for now |
