China's Hainan province has officially set a 2030 deadline to ban the sale of new petrol-powered vehicles, marking a significant step in the nation's decarbonization efforts. This policy, the first of its kind in China, aims to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and establish Hainan as a model for other regions. The province also plans to significantly expand its EV charging infrastructure to support the transition, targeting a ratio of at least one charging point for every three electric vehicles by 2030.
