The Chinese state-run research center in charge of helping the government draft automotive policy said it recommended that electric-vehicle manufacturing be opened to companies other than carmakers.
The China Automotive Technology and Research Center has drafted the policy changes and proposed the issuance of two to three special licenses for EV manufacturing, Wang Cheng, who oversees the project at the center, said in an interview. The recommendations will be circulated among industry regulators for discussion before submission to the State Council, with approval expected as soon as this year, he said.
