GM, Mercedes-Benz pile among carmakers banking on China for EV sales, not doing enough on climate crisis, Greenpeace says

The world’s largest carmakers have relied heavily on the Chinese market to increase the sales of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), and are not moving away from fossil fuels at a rate sufficient to limit global warming, Greenpeace East Asia said.

This comes despite sales of ZEVs reporting their biggest increase globally in a decade last year, the environmental group said in a report released on Thursday.
