With China already doubling the United State's expenditure on green research it comes at no surprise that the country is spending massive sums on developing electric cars. "China is committed to spending $15 billion on building and selling electric cars...." , which is definitely an impressive number. Decreasing the use of oil is definitely an important move for the largest country in the world. The most obvious is environmental reasons. With increasing oil prises, dwindling world wide reserves, increasing number of Chinese drivers, and increased overall demand for oil in China this move is important for economic growth and security.

Green cars have been around for way longer than they have been popular. It's a great thing that China is now putting so much emphasis on green research and cars since they produce such a large amount of pollution each year.
