Sales of internal combustion engine (ice) vehicles have reportedly dropped significantly in china, with some outlets citing a 37% decline in gas car sales. Meanwhile, new energy vehicle (nev) sales have reached a record high, accounting for over 60% of all vehicle sales in the country, although the exact month of the sales report is unclear, with some outlets referencing april and others may. The shift in sales has apparently led to some automakers, such as honda, to begin phasing out certain models.
