China’s industry has decided to shift gears to focus on EVs, not hybrids or even hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, signaling a change in direction that will undoubtedly have global ramifications. The Chinese market has become the world’s largest and, while growth is expected to be less robust in 2011 than it was in a heavily-subsidized 2010, the market will undoubtedly continue to increase in size and scope. Because of the anticipated increase in demand for electricity, China is also reshaping the way it produces energy. The country says it is rapidly cutting back on its use of coal and is instead leveraging hydropower, wind, gas and nuclear power.
