This just shows how inefficient and incompetent governments are.
Nothing official yet, but it would absolutely be a tipping point in the EV revolution in China.
I don't think this is necessarily the case. From what I've seen, the fundamental problem with government programs is the people implementing the programs have no idea how electric vehicles are used. That's simply because they don't own one and drive one themselves. It's difficult for people to imagine how they are different and how they are the same as ICE cars, in terms of usage, until they actually own and use one.
The solution would be for the decision makers to use the vehicles themselves. But then the government would have to buy them cars, which probably wouldn't be "good optics". Or they'd have to buy the cars themselves, which seems an unlikely level of commitment to their job.
is 180º off from the situation here. It appears that Beijing is considering making available funds for others to invest in charging apparatus. That's precisely the kind of government assistance - intervention - that I applaud. At that coming from a so-called socialist system! Astonishing, that.This just shows how inefficient and incompetent governments are. Sinking that much money into charging infrastructure
You make a good point, BUT with that amount of money, you could brainlessly put superchargers every X miles, and get the entire country covered. The problem always seems to be corruption. You can bet some company is going to make a killing off of this plan. Even if one does not own/drive an EV, given that budget, any intelligent being would pick the fastest charging available.I don't think this is necessarily the case.
