The extraordinary rise of China’s electric vehicle market is one of the most remarkable business stories of our times. 

In just over a decade, the country has come to account for over half of global EV sales, and is now home to some of the world’s biggest EV makers. One of them, BYD, recently overtook Tesla as the world ‘s largest EV producer.

How has this happened? What’s been the response in other countries? And where next for electric vehicles, as the way we buy, run and use our cars undergoes a period of fundamental change?

Joining us to discuss these questions we have Bill Russo, founder and chief executive of auto sector consultancy Automobility - and Tu Le, founder and managing director of Sino Auto Insights.
