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.
