CHINESE EVS MAKE MAJOR INROADS AS AUSTRALIAN MARKET CHARGES AHEAD

With policies to speed up the country's green transition, wider range of electric vehicles available

Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers are gearing up for accelerated growth in the Australian market, as Canberra ramps up regulatory measures to smooth the country's transition to greener transportation.

At the recent Everything Electric show in Sydney, which ran for three days starting on March 7, Chinese EV makers took center stage among the diverse range of items on display.

Ian Wilcox, a property valuer from Newcastle in New South Wales state, checked out one of the latest EV offerings on display from Chinese auto giant BYD, saying the vehicle was way ahead of its foreign competitors in many aspects.
