"Electric Vehicles: China's Plan: Beat America (And Everyone Else)"

"When it comes to electric vehicles, no nation has matched China's audacious plan. It wants to beat the world.

China's emerging leadership has been the subject of recent studies. One of them, released earlier this year by McKinsey & Co., the global consulting firm, revealed how China has normalized the use of electric cars while it remains a curiosity in much of the world.

McKinsey's research included a poll that found between 10% and 30% of Americans say their next car will be electric. Europe's share of "leaners" toward EVs ranged from 40% to 60%.

Then there was China, where 70% of respondents expected to be driving an EV sometime soon."
