Cars are responsible for a significant portion of CO2 emissions in China, Europe, and the US. New figures show that the market for EVs is growing rapidly. But the growth is not yet enough to meet the sector's climate targets. And while Europe is betting heavily on plug-in hybrids, China sells mostly pure EVs and dominates the market in e-buses. But the climate problem remains.

Chinas Wirtschaft ist zuletzt auffällig langsam gewachsen. Das niedrige Wachstum im dritten Quartal gibt Anlass zur Sorge über die Wachstumsaussichten im nächsten Jahr. China sollte seine Covid-Politik überdenken. Und auch beim Umbau des Energiesystems zur Erreichung der Klimaziele, sollten die Verantwortlichen die richtigen Weichen setzen, um das Wachstum nicht zusätzlich zu gefährden.

Patrick Chou, 52, has been selling luxury cars in China since 1998. From Bentleys to Porsches, he fulfills all the four-wheeled desires of the super-rich. Chou is convinced that European providers will continue to dominate the market for a long time. In the interview, he explains why many young people are also among his customers and why he is able to collect so much data on his customers in China. Frank Sieren conducted the interview.
