The world's largest auto market has a way of dictating the issue.

China set a deadline for automakers to finally end production and sales of fossil-fuel-powered vehicles. They will become the biggest market to implement it and that will accelerate their own electric vehicle industry led by companies including giants BYD Co. and BAIC Motor Corp. to produce EV types for home and world export markets. China will cap its carbon emissions by 2030 and stop their dangerous air pollution. They will join countries such as the U.K. and France and lead in phasing out vehicles using gasoline, diesel or any combustion-engine vehicles. Norway and the Netherlands are also considering a more aggressive strategy to put an end on fossil-fuel cars. Global EV manufacturers; Tesla Inc., Nissan Motor Co. and General Motors Co. are trying to grab a slice of the EV market in China, but local manufacturers that have found considerable and faster successes, largely from generous Chinese government subsidies.
