Recently, a YouTuber alleged that Chinese carmakers were overproducing electric cars to obtain government subsidies and beef up sales figures. Shanghai-based auto expert Mark Rainford has quashed these allegations after visiting the so-called Chinese EV graveyard.
The initial accusations stemmed from drone footage of an EV cemetery near Hangzhou in the Zhejiang province, shared by YouTuber Winston Sterzel. He claimed that over 10,000 Neta V models were rotting away in a field. But Rainford’s on-ground investigation revealed that only 146 Neta V cars were parked on the field, while others were different models.
