China’s e-car sales to purr past US to No. 1

Electric car sales in China are set to hit 220,000 to 250,000 this year, surpassing the US to rank first worldwide, the China Association of Automobile Manufactures predicted.

Worldwide electric cars sales will hit 600,000 and the figure for the US market is seen at 180,000, said Xu Yanhua, deputy secretary-general of CAAM.

Although China has achieved rapid development in electric vehicles, quality instead of quantity should be the focus for the sustainable development of the industry, Xu told an industry conference.

Vehicle safety and the quality of batteries should be carefully examined and supervised, she added.

China’s new energy vehicle sector has seen explosive growth in the past two years on subsidies and tax cuts.
