Cars make our lives convenient and many people can't live without them. However, they can also be a problem, especially fossil fuel(化石燃料) cars, which cause air pollution. It is widely believed that clean energy and improved fuel technologies can greatly reduce air pollution caused by gas- fueled cars. To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs, 电动车). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market.
In 2023, about 14 million EVs were sold worldwide. The number of EVs sold in China was more than 9 million- about three times as large as the number sold in the United States. Chinese drivers are already big fans of EVs." Charging(充电) an electric car is cheaper than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas," said Mr. Wu, who bought an electric car this year.
However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging stations and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged. Some of these problems are being solved. There are more and more charging stations in China. Now China has the world's largest EV charging network, with more than 8, 596,000 charging stations in total.
" Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to reduce pressure on the environment. As China goes, so will the world's auto industry", said The Wall Street Journal . Electric vehicles are really a smart choice for the environment.
