Deep dives
China's Dominance in EV Adoption
China has taken the lead in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, with nearly 30% of all car sales being EVs, compared to just 7% in the US. This rapid growth can be attributed to China's consistent national policies that incentivize EV purchases and support the development of a robust EV industry. Tesla played a significant role in sparking the EV revolution in China by sharing its cutting-edge EV technology with Chinese car makers and suppliers. Chinese consumers now have a wide range of high-quality, affordable EV options, which has driven the country to become the largest market for EV sales.
