How China made electric vehicles mainstream

China became a leader in the electric vehicle (EV) market by implementing government subsidies and policies that made EVs financially attractive. Almost half of all cars sold in China were electric last year, with Chinese brands like BYD leading the global EV market. This growth was fueled by long-term planning, massive government funding, and support for EV manufacturers, creating a competitive landscape and driving innovation. Despite criticism of unfair business practices, China's efforts have resulted in a booming EV sector, driving the industry forward with affordable, cutting-edge electric vehicles.
