China has shown a resounding desire to battle climate change in the last couple years, signing deals with the U.S to reduce carbon emissions and setting an ambitious goal of 5 million green vehicles on its roads by 2020. Now China is working urgently to speed up the construction of a national network to charge electric cars to help boost green vehicle sales, which have suffered from economic turmoil and the lack of charging facilities. China has already offered tax cuts for green vehicles and now it’s looking to standardize car chargers and equip at least one in every ten public car park facilities with charging facilities, displaying the urgent global effort to reduce carbon emissions by transitioning to electric cars.
