Some news that could have an effect on the Chinese EV market moving forward came out on Wednesday. The CCP is contemplating making some changes to the dual credit policy that has allowed EV makers to sell these credits for added revenues. It is similar to the program that Tesla bears have famously criticized when the company was reporting those numbers as profit. Now, it looks like China will also be cracking down on these credits in the near future, which could put a bit of a hitch into the growth stories of Chinese EV makers.
