WOULD YOU BUY THESE SMALL EVs? East Asia's EV makers are on a roll. For example, China saw a mere 18,000 electric vehicles (EVs) sold in 2013. This jumped to 330,000 in 2015. In 2018 more than 1 million electric vehicles were sold in the mainland. In 2020, 1.3 million EVs were reportedly sold in China. BusinessWire reports that this represented 41% of global EV sales, just behind Europe with 42% of global EV sales. China's EV market has more than 400 competitors, unseen anywhere else.
