🏝️ Electric Vehicles Hit Hainan’s Scenic Roads in High-Tech Race
The 2024 New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Public Testing Island Rally revved into action this week, blending cutting-edge tech with Hainan’s tropical charm. Starting at Yingge Surfing Station, this 600-kilometer race snakes through Sanya’s beaches, Wanning’s lush forests, and volcanic coastlines before wrapping up in Haikou. It’s not just a race—it’s a live lab for testing EV endurance, smart navigation, and sustainability creds under real-world conditions.
🚙 Why it matters: With global EV demand surging, events like this spotlight China’s NEV innovation while boosting Hainan’s eco-tourism rep. Brands like BYD and NIO are putting their latest models through coastal highways and winding mountain roads, proving green tech can thrive beyond city limits.
