Volkswagen is one of the top-selling car companies in China, but it is lagging behind local carmakers in the country's NEV market.

A government document voices support for NEV development in rural areas in terms of NEV purchases, charging infrastructure development, and consumer education.

Nio and Shell signed a strategic partnership agreement in November 2021 to collaborate on charging and battery swap facilities in China and Europe.

Deliveries of the Zeekr 009 MPV with CATL Qilin Battery had begun on April 17.

The Haval brand was for a long time the top-selling in the SUV market in China, but with the rapid growth of the NEV industry, it has lost its dominance to BYD.

Since October 2021, BYD has acquired five mega industrial sites in the Shenzhen-Shanwei Special Cooperation Zone, with a combined area of more than 4.1 million square meters.

To date, Li Auto has 13 supercharging stations and aims to have more than 300 by the end of the year.

Nio's 1,400th battery swap station in China was built with German retail giant METRO, and the two have built a total of 21 such facilities together to date.

The battery plant will support electric two-wheeler and power tool manufacturers in Malaysia and Southeast Asia, Eve Energy said.

BYD and Weichai Power will build a power battery development and manufacturing base in Shandong province, where the latter is headquartered.
