The symposium focused on market trend, public policy, environment impact and issues related to power storage, charging infrastructure, public education, work force training and many other topics.
Ma Xiaofeng, executive director of China's Tonghe Electronics Co Ltd, told Xinhua at the company's booth that through the product demonstrations and the topics of conference, it could be obviously seen that EVs are getting closer to consumers.
