               According to sources,due to a lack of charging stations,Chinese drivers are reluctant to purchase electric vehicles,despite the governments efforts to promote green cars nation wide.Currently,to buy an electric car,drivers can enjoy a government subsidy up to $16,000.Even so,among the 260 million cars running on China's roads,electric vehicles account for less than 0.1%.Many drivers have avoided buying electric vehicles because they are daunted by the prospect of being stranded halfway home due to the inconvenience of charging their cars.Most of the charging stations are far away from residential areas,and not all off them are open to private use.Xue Xu,a professor from Peking University said ''An obstacle to the mass adoption of electric cars is the battery technology.Chinese companies should invest and research more in developing big batteries before the market is taken over by international brands''.One more photo below.
