November 6, Fineko/abcnews. Chinese automakers set an all-time record in October by exporting and selling 582,000 electric and hybrid vehicles in overseas markets, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). Exports of electric vehicles surged by 144.7% year-on-year.

The steep rise in global crude oil prices driven by Middle Eastern geopolitical conflict has accelerated international demand for electric and hybrid vehicles. This shift provides a major competitive edge to Chinese automakers that have invested heavily in electric vehicle technology and global supply chain expansion.
