Chinese version of “cash for clunkers” arrives at an incredibly opportune time for the EV industry.. the US version of this program, back when it was launched in 2009 under President Obama, was a critical pillar of his strategy to revive a flagging economy.. Safe to say, that the same could be expected in China - reviving the economy while accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels.. With so many cheaper EVs flooding the market there is no better time for Chinese households to think about upgrading their aging vehicles to a sleeker, cleaner and more efficient option.

However, things have gone badly recently. They decided to close a factory in the US. Now they are taking saving measures such as reducing staff. Reasons: 1- They are not competitive compared to the Chinese 2- They could not integrate China starting from the mine and including all processes 3-Finally, when electric vehicle sales started to decline, we came to these days; obviously there is big market like in China. As I always say, many companies that have invested heavily to electrification is now hav?ng though times ?n their P&L thesr are all due to unrealistic 2035 targets set by EU comissions. #electrification #electricvehicles #EV #EU #Sweden #Battery #China
