China’s automobile exports surpassed Japan’s for the first time in 1H23, making it the largest car exporter in the period. Electric vehicles, accounting for around a third, were the main driver of growth. Considering China produces 60% of the world’s motive batteries used to power EVs and interest we receive at Neudata on this topic, this report highlights datasets to help monitor China’s lithium-ion battery supply chain.
