Sales lagged in China until last year, hampered by several factors less than single-family homes that make loading the driver in the garage, a fierce focus on price as low as possible by buyers bargains hungry, and minimal environmental movement.
In a long-term quest to dominate world production of electric cars, China announced a national goal of half a million electric cars on the roads by 2011. The number of plug-in cars delivered this year 6000 .
But last year, sales gushed - and so far, they seem to remain high - due to several factors.
These include restrictions in several major cities on the number of new cars that can be registered with preferential treatment for the plug-ins, and a government focused on the intensification of electric cars as a way to fight against pollution and hazardous air suffocation.

Meanwhile, it is clear that there is a real s and demand for retail consumers supported for electric cars, the kind that helped Tesla Motors to sell tens of thousands of electric cars approaching 100,000 less each three years.
Moreover, because many major Chinese cities now severely restrict registrations - but give new part of the energy major vehicles of the limited number - retail customers within the city can now opt for the right plug-ins to get a car first.
So, 2015 promises to be an exciting year for sales of electric cars plug-in, not only in North America and Europe but also in China, which still wants to clearly dominate world production of electric cars over the long term .
