China's EV industry charging forward

In July of last year, China achieved an astonishing milestone.

For the first time in any country ever, more than half of all new vehicles sold for the month were either electric or hybrid cars - outpacing sales of conventional internal combustion engine vehicles.

This momentum is expected to continue this year, with experts predicting that more new energy vehicles will be sold in 2025 than traditional cars.

It's a testament to a decades-long effort to put China at the top of the electric car market, though many challenges remain, including western protectionism and a brutal price war.

In this episode of China Perspective, Azam Khan takes a look at China’s road to automotive dominance, and where it’s headed next.
