Presented by Michael J. Dunne, CEO of Dunne Automotive Ltd.

China’s recent surge in electric vehicle (EV) sales astounded the global automotive industry until investigators discovered that the explosive growth may have been attributable to fake customers. Michael J. Dunne, CEO of Dunne Automotive Ltd., explains the factors contributing to the fraud in the six-minute audio interview titled, “China’s EV Surge: A Closer Look at the Numbers.”

Produced by GlobalBusinessProfessor.com and GlobalAutoIndustry.com, the interview features Dunne explaining the “carrots and sticks” the Chinese government deployed to incentivize sales of electric vehicles. He also describes how the car manufacturers were able to inflate sales figures by manufacturing fake customers and selling to their own subsidiary companies on paper.

Dunne highlights which automakers are leading the EV race, and what the future holds for China’s support of EVs.
