Benjamin Consulting Group analyses the Chinese Light Electric Vehicle LEV market with staff on the ground in China. China makes and uses over 90% of the world's e-bikes. Indeed, this, the world's most populous country, may soon have citizens that travel more road distance electrically than by internal combustion engine because over 70 million e-bikes are used intensively for commuting to work. It has 180 million conventional cars but they are used less intensively, partly because of congestion on city roads. Chinese electric bikes are exported to over 120 countries though these export only amount to millions at most. Their manufacture is sometimes licensed to firms in India. It also makes pure electric forklifts and other heavy industrial EVs, though with little attempt to export them as yet, though some are sold in Korea and elsewhere. The population of electric cars in China is tiny. Both hybrid and pure electric cars have so far been selling only in a total of thousands yearly because they are so expensive.
Light industrial, commercial and mobility EVs
Like the e-bikes and forklifts, most of the light industrial EVs made in China are pure electric.
