Some time ago, was heard from the Middle Kingdom that China is firmly resolute, to be rising in the production of electric cars to the world's leading nation. Rising subsidies and investments in this sector always hear of the automotive market make it clear that it has made, in fact, a lot. But not everyone is convinced of, that the plan will rise.Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao presented himself as in a recent opinion in the party newspaper “Qiushi” rather reticent when it comes to forecasting the expected success of electric cars. According to his personal assessment, it might even mean that the modern, environmentally friendly vehicles will not prevail.

Even if this statement stands in contrast to what some industry insiders predict. Especially Wen's position is problematic for the Chinese automaker. Because they are largely dependent on the political support to be able to book the desired results. In addition, the assessment of the Chinese prime minister is still difficult to understand in other ways. After all, it is the leadership of the country itself, which is working on the introduction of cars with an electric motor for the masses. A closer look reveals Wen's actual thought. The politician pointed out that the industry in the exhaust-free cars, so to speak is still in its infancy of development. This is also reflected in the car manufacturers in China.

To mass production in China seems not only feasible once. Abroad will make the new restraint for relaxation. In Germany and other countries, the automobile companies had worried that China may refer the rest of the world in this area to the courses. Always so easy now but probably not. And yet, by the year 2020, the Chinese government to see about five million electric cars on China's roads. Main target group are in the plans, motorists in the metropolitan areas, where there are already some significant air pollution by increasing the number of vehicles on the road.
