On December 13th, according to a report from 'Shenzhen Release', on November 14th this year, China's new energy vehicle production exceeded 10 million units for the first time, with Shenzhen accounting for nearly 1/5 of the total. Looking at the data, Shenzhen entered the ranks of 'China's top new energy vehicle city' last year with a production volume of 1.733 million units.
