The Role of the Chinese State in the Spread of Electromobility
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article examines Chinese government support for the electric car industry, one of the most intensively developing industries today. The objective of state action is to create the resources for technological development and innovation, with a focus on growth, advancing the green transition and reducing pollution to create a sustainable future. The development of the industry will also enhance the country's global competitiveness, and China aims to become a leader in this new field by integrating it into the entire value chain. The state will adapt its support for companies and households to this end, helping to create social and economic prosperity. One of the fastest-growing companies, BYD, will also be presented, which has become a major international player over the years thanks in part to the subsidies and has factories on all continents. Electromobility is a complex field whose development potential requires an analysis of several technological and economic factors. The entire life cycle of electric vehicles, the production and use process, from the extraction of raw materials to the recycling of used batteries, must be taken into consideration if it is to become a truly environmentally friendly technology in the future.
