Drop in the ocean: New energy vehicles last year accounted for just 1.8% of sales in the world's biggest autos market.

BEIJING: China is considering easing proposed quotas aimed at producing more electric vehicles, as Beijing gets pushback from the automotive industry over the scale and pace of the plans.

If adopted, proposed changes under discussion could see a target of new energy vehicles (NEV) making up 8% of sales next year pushed to 2019, two auto executives said.
