As anticipated, global electric vehicles (EV) production is achieving a critical mass necessary to reduce unit costs, increase affordability, and further multiply uptake. And this is mainly attributable to Chinese EV makers and a government that has taken upon itself to make China the leading global EV manufacturer and exporter, becoming the energy transition leader away from fossil fuels.
