Cardiff Confucius Institute Tutor, Lei Zhang will offer an overview of China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) sector, covering its start, development, brands, market, smart tech, cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits.

China’s NEV journey began in the early 2000s, driven by low-carbon policies and tech independence. Now a global leader, it boasts diverse brands including BYD, NIO and XPeng.
