But the rural population already has mostly other problems, but to afford a car. Their income is far too low with about 300 - 400 dollars per year. If one considers that as a result of Mao's Cultural Revolution in the late 60's of the last century, about 40 million people died of starvation yet, it is already pointed out that these issues are resolved, despite the further increase in population (more than 1.3 billion).

So there are generous, new roads in district towns which would allow a lot of mobility, as a kind of check in the future. Nevertheless, one can not say, that the Chinese government only unilaterally focus on the combustion engine. Would be unthinkable because at the same level of motorization such as in Germany, China alone would consume all oil reserves in one year.

No, one is fighting against it. In big cities there are even restrictions on car registrations. Of course, one must also take into consideration the vehicle manufacturers. After all, in China were produced 2011 18 million of the world's 80 million cars. Thus, one is as the world's best 10 million prior to the second, the United States. These are of course not all Chinese cars. There are pure foreign manufacturing facilities in China and joint ventures with Chinese manufacturers.

Just as the gap between rich and poor will greater, differs also the group of buyers. Who has the money and not necessarily have to be wealthy businessmen take an at least nominally foreign product, even if it's mostly made in China. One trust not quite products produced under local leadership. So there is a considerable number of original purchasers the but still pays much attention and often subsequently demands from the producer.

There are problems with the pure Chinese products, not only with crash tests in Europe. It seems that the technological progress of the West and of course of Japan and Korea is uncatchable. And that despite large quantities of copies, usually already visible in design and trademark. One manages with acquisitions from these countries but also there needs to be taken care for a prosperous coexistence.

On the contrary, there is only since a few years ago, BYD (Build Your Dream) as a car maker which has much longer experience with the production of batteries. Advantages are almost priceless here. Thus China is among one of the countries, the already most subsidize the purchase of an electric car. Together with regional subsidies that can amount to 16,000 euros.

That's right, since the electric car is barely more expensive than the conventional. And if even in provinces like Guangdong with the city Shenzhen at an enormous speed - as you now already know from China - an appropriate charging structure will be also built according to international standards, should an enormous practical test with even more experience in the production of electric vehicles in the car nothing more stand in the way.

After all, there is already electric taxi service with more than 300 km range at 60 kWh capacity. The question concerning the net weight of the vehicle should be interesting. Within a year (!) are planned more than 20,000 charging stations and about 30,000 electric vehicles in this demonstration area for e-mobility. Such a thing a person responsible for it proclaims without special emotions ... 08/12
