China’s Chery

After you saw the title, I’ll bet you were thinking of something else. Sorry to disappoint you.

Chery Automotive in China builds and develops electric cars.  Chery is working in a joint venture with BenQ, a company in Taiwan, to develop lithium-ion battery technology

Auto Blog Green says Chery’s line of EVs are not strong sellers, yet Chery continues to build and develop electric vehicles anyway. 

Do they know something we don’t? 

After all, China’s central government could announce that all gas and diesel powered cars must be replaced with electric.

Critics in the West would complain but the air in China would be cleaner, which should make environmentalist’s happy.

Chery industries appears to be taking quality and safety seriously too.
