ELECTRIFICATION IN THE WORLD ’ S THIRD-LARGEST AUTO MARKET
The shift to EVs is essential — morally and by law . With a number of cars entering the passenger vehicle space and fleets , transportation networks , and other methods coming to the fore , countries are at different stages of sustainable growth .
