Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is the world's second largest car market, and the world's number one luxury car market. So in every aspect, the developments of the Chinese car market are important and indicative of global trends. This research began as an interest in the proportion of luxury cars to basic cars on China's roads. This led to a following of luxury automaker Tesla's debut in China, which further questioned how the Chinese market would accept a fully electric car and the development of a nationally interconnected charging station infrastructure, such as the infrastructure already present in America and Europe. The questions leading into the research were what are the unique obstacles of China's transportation sector to developing a nationally connected charging station infrastructure, whether the Chinese market will develop a demand for fully electric vehicles in the near future, would Tesla be the flagship electric vehicle in China or would a home-grown company offer an alternative in China, and how would the service sector in China adapt to accommodate fully electric vehicles. The discussions of these issues are from the lenses of government regulations, sales and marketing, infrastructure development, consumer habits, and current practical use of electric vehicles in China. This study surveys charging station sites in China, studies market sources in China, and records a participation in an internship and negotiations between an automotive investor and official Tesla correspondents in China. The conclusion is: the construction of the charging station infrastructure is dependent upon a continual increase in electric vehicle drivers, consumer's willingness to adapt their ideology on replenishing a vehicle's fuel, development of a very capable basic entry level fully electric vehicle, and continued government incentives for pure electric vehicles. In response to internship experience and the Tesla negotiation outcome, the author proposes several strategic modifications, such as free destination charging, electric vehicle emergency range extension service subscription, and a media campaign to glamorize the battery charging lifestyle.
