How Much Do Folks Like EVs? Only If They Get A Tax Break -- September 6, 2019

From Bloomberg: electric car sales fall for first time after China cuts subsidy.  Data points:
  • sales drop 14% in July 
  • slowdown highlights the effect of government subsidies
  • global EV sales fell for the first time on record in July after China scaled back purchase subsidies
  • monthly sales worldwide fell 14% to about 128,000 plug-in passenger EV
The big question: why would China cut subsidies on EVs?

One word: coal.
