Future of electric vehicles

A recent study on the EV vehicle market reveals that electric vehicles seem will pick up pace in the near future. The data speculates that the EV global market will increase by five times between 2016 and 2027.

Considering this data, the demand for EVs in the coming days tends to increase. The companies will have to increase production to meet those demands. Looking at this, both Huawei and GAC planned to produce eight models and multiple series of electric vehicles.
