The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released a 15-year roadmap in October on new energy cars, outlining the sector's development goals to be reached by 2030. According to the blueprint, such cars will account for 7 percent of total car sales in 2020 and 40 percent in 2030, reaching an estimated 15.2 million units. The blueprint set a target for electric cars to run 300 kilometers on a single charge by 2020 and 500 km by 2030.
