The production volume of new energy commercial vehicles accounted for 33.5% of the total production volume of new energy vehicles.
Thanks to the governments’ unrelenting supports and subsidies, the new energy commercial vehicle sector realized fast-speed growth.
In 2015, Beijing Municipal Government gave out a subsidy of 1,800 RMB per kilowatt-hour for all electric special vehicles. Every such emission-free vehicle is entitled to receive a total amount of no more than 135,000 RMB subsidies. Jiangsu provincial government also handed out 800 RMB subsidies for a battery capacity of one kilowatt-hour and every such emission-free vehicle can get a total amount of subsidies of no more than 60,000 RMB.

I prefer public transport way over car. I do think Chinese need a car, but they should try their best not to use car for work. In most Chinese big cities, public transport is the number one choice. Most Chinese 1st-2nd tier cites and some of the 3rd tier cities are now under massive construction of metro system. The tendency in my city is that more and more people give up their car and resort to metro(every 3-5 minutes), which doesn't mean we buy less car.
