China’s production and sale of electric cars will more than double this year, Reuters reports quoting the industry minister as saying on Sunday.
More than 300,000 electric cars were sold in China last year, Miao Wei, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology told reporters on the sidelines of the annual meeting of parliament on Sunday.
The reliability, mileage and lifespan of electric batteries need improvement and China needs to speed up the installation of electric car charging stations, Miao said.
