Been reading through my usual posts and this thought popped up in my head. Did a bit of searching and now I'm curious what y'all's analysis is on this. And how potentially the CCP will respond to climate related consequences in the coming decades since they are becoming an increasingly massive superpower and their actions will have global impacts for the rest of the world.
I've been in Wuhan for like 6 months ish and the amount of EVs on the road are drastically higher than 5 years ago, and I think petrol taxis are being phased out.
Like when I was living in Australia, you'd see a Tesla every now and then. The number of EVs as a percentage of road vehicles is exponentially higher in China and it's not even close. In some areas you're approaching 50% of all personal vehicles being EVs
Yeah I didn’t see a single petrol taxi. In Guangzhou it felt like maybe 80-90% of newer passenger cars I saw were EVs, in Changsha maybe 50-60%. Still massively better than the west on that front.
Not every change has been positive but certainly was very impressed by the EV/renewables revolution.
