At present, air pollution may be the greatest problem and people all over the world pay attention to it. The Chinese government has done a lot to deal with it. One of them is to produce electric vehicles（机动车）,especially electric cars. China plans to put at least half a million electric cars on the road by 2015.

  Electric cars are hard to sell. Even with the help of the government, there are still many problems. So it isn’t easy to get more people to use electric cars.
