• The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China have been arguing over the prospects of green technology for electric cars in China.
• Last month, the NDRC’s Li Gang called the electric car ventures in China "hopeless" and "garbage technology". The MIIT argued that Beijing was not built in a day.
• Premier Wen Jiabao also voiced concerns that problems involving the technical path, technologies, investment and policy support make the future of electric and hybrid cars in China uncertain.
• It appears that China's government, which has devoted more towards electric vehicles than those of any other country, is now rethinking its commitment towards the project and has yet to release details.

• Recently, Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD, said that BYD will continue to undergo adjustments in 2012, and that the company is expected to see a second take-off in 2013, but growth speed may not be as fast as the first one.
• Wang disclosed that the first segment to be restructured is BYD's sales network. The company has already reduced its number of dealers from 1,000 to around 830. The company will maintain its investment at a stable level to cultivate competitive products.
• Shenzhen city plans to replace 10,000 buses and 13,000 cabs with electric vehicles over the next five years, and BYD is trying to capture this opportunity, Wang added.
• BYD will deliver 2,000 electric buses in 2012. For 2012 and 2013, the company expects to see billions in sales revenue from its new-energy vehicles.

• It was recently reported that the Industry Plan for New Energy Vehicles has been submitted to relevant authorities for review and could be released by the end of this year.
