Hold onto your charging cables, folks! China just shifted into hyperdrive with a record 4.4 million new energy vehicles (NEVs) registered in the first half of 2024 – that’s 39% more than last year! The police data reveals the roads now host 24.72 million NEVs, with all-electric cars dominating 73% of this green fleet. Move over, gas guzzlers!
Here’s the juice:
13.97 million new drivers joined the roads this year (welcome to the carpool, rookies!)
96 cities now have over 1 million cars each – picture 26 urban jungles with 3M+ vehicles
Chengdu, Beijing & Chongqing lead with 6M+ cars each – that’s like everyone and their pet panda owning a ride
With 532 million licensed drivers nationwide, China’s auto revolution isn’t just changing lanes—it’s building new highways to a sustainable future.
