Attempts to turn China into an environmentally friendly country, where electric cars are being used on roads, are not yet crowned with success. The number of petrol stations in China in July 2010 was 95,000. Accordingly, it was necessary to build about 100,000 electric vehicles for the normal operation of the electric vehicle fleet. Electric charging stations. Only units have appeared in Beijing, Taiyuan, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and some other cities. Some further Shanghai advanced to the 2010 World Exposition. However, there has been virtually no one left for the "green light" by the authorities of electric vehicles. The electric buses that were acquired by the exhibition were three times more expensive than their diesel brethrees, and the distance between charging was not more than 100 km. The same problem was faced by the Shenzhen taxi drivers operating BYD E6. They find the vehicle sufficiently powerful and comfortable, but they have to deny them any further trips (only 200 km per charge). State and local authorities guarantee buyers subsidies and discounts on electricity and purchase of electric vehicles, which sometimes cost the purchasers at one and a half, or twice cheaper. However, so far the owners of such equipment have become very few, and the account of the monthly cars it produces is still in the hundreds. The most popular models are Lifan EV, Roewe 350 EV, BYD F3DM and E6, Zotye EV SUV and Chery Riich M1 EV. Thus, a month is accepted up to 50 orders for BYD F3DM, and this is perhaps a record. Besides, the exploitation of the green vehicles was not so cloudless. It was revealed that the charging required exclusively constant current, while AC power was used in the household electricity, that the power of the home electricity network was insufficient and the half-hour (default) charging process was stretched several times. Therefore, electrokarov owners are forced by the will of the specialized electric power stations. However, there are many places on them, so there are no queues. Another problem is that batteries are typically designed for 1,000 cycles of "full discharge" and have approximately five years of service life. But if the daily run of an electric vehicle does not match the maximum mileage on one charge, the owner has to recharge his electric car more often. This leads to the fact that 1,000 cycles are "spent" before, sometimes in only three years instead of five. Meanwhile, the price of a battery pack is about 15 to 20 per cent of the price of the electric vehicle. It is interesting that the specially created demonstration electric mobile center in Shanghai each weekend visits up to 700 people who want to take part in tests of electric carroves. The city plans to increase the number of charging stations to 5,000 in the next three years. The same promises to potential owners of the city administration in Hangzhou (in private hands there are 25 electric cars and four electric stations) and Shenzhen, the "birthplace" of the BYD car brand. Here, the city authorities want the number of electric cars in the streets to reach 24,000 in 2012 and 100,000 in 2015. However, it seems that ordinary citizens of the city do not share their aspirations.
