It would be interesting if there's any climate savings from what they're doing with EV vs ICE given their infrastructure. I'm doubtful it's much if anything.
- Hamuko 5y agoChina's urban population is like 61% at the moment. Considering that EVs are more efficient in urban environments since they don't actually need to spend much energy when idling, I imagine that it's still more efficient to burn fossil fuels centrally for electricity than everyone in their own car.
