BEIJING/SHANGHAI : China should standardise requirements for electric vehicle (EV) batteries in order to keep its edge over other markets such as the U.S. and Europe in the rapidly growing industry, the country's former industry minister said on Friday.
"Europe and the United States are ramping up efforts to develop local battery makers, while protectionism has resurfaced," Miao Wei told the World Power Battery Conference in China's southwestern city of Yibin where he had an audience of policymakers and industry executives.
