China eyes the prize in the fast-growing e-vehicle industry

This video from the Wall Street Journal looks at the rapid growth of electric vehicles in China. In many places, getting a licence plate for a standard petrol or diesel driven car has literally become a lottery; no such restrictions operate with e-vehicles. Beijing's goal is to be selling 15 million e-vehicles a year by 2030 and for two Chinese companies to become globally-scaled producers over the same period.

Foreign auto-makers are planning investment into China's e-vehicle market and will provide stiff competition for local suppliers.
