Fri, 10/04/2009 - 23:37 by admin

BEIJING, April 10 -- China's vice minister of finance, Zhang Shaochun, says the government's support of electric cars will focus on subsidies for car-buyers.

"The fiscal subsidy gives voting rights to the consumer," he said at a conference in which officials explained China's plans for pushing the use of electric vehicles, The New York Times reported Friday.

China plans to invest $1.46 billion in electric-car research, but will put most of the subsidies in the hands of consumers, rather than car companies, "otherwise the companies will just fight for subsidies," the vice minister said.

China is aiming for a production capacity of 500,000 hybrid or all-electric vehicles a year by 2011, The New York Times reported Thursday.
