Yes, I know Beijing has a lottery for new license plates, and Shanghai has an auction. Other cities use a combination of the two methods from what I've heard, so that less well-off people have a chance while also allowing them to raise some significant revenue from the wealthy. These restrictions on new license plates allow the cities to manage congestion and keep air pollution low. Also, there are separate quotas for hybrids/electric cars which give better lottery odds.
I don't know, my point was more that 75 mile range is fine for large swaths ofs people. Size of the country has little correlation with distance of trips taken, that's mostly a planning thing.
Hot conditions will degrade overall life of the battery, while the battery is capable of holding less charge during extreme cold temperatures. They screw you coming and going.
Why? People have a time budget for travel, not a distance budget.
yeah but does china really have such extensive battery swapping stuff that you can stop by and do it like a fill up

Is it a deliberate strategy to have people go by train and disincentivice car traffic? If so it is based.

idk. it also degrades a lot
What?
Electric car battery life degrades pretty quickly, esp in hot conditions.
I thought it degrades a lot more in colder climate. So, extreme climate degradation then.
