Looks like they are serious about this.

" The Chinese government is set to announce that they will install 10 million parking spots for electric vehicle charging by 2020 in order to support a major increase in electric vehicle production.
The government expects electric vehicle production in China to hit one million units by 2020, and the country's automakers are planning to concentrate on all-electric vehicles as opposed to hybrids or fuel-cell vehicles."
In an article linked from this one, they say,
"This project is another large leap that China is making to meet their goals of having 20 percent of their energy come from renewable sources by 2020 and to reach a cap on their CO2 emissions by 2030."
(Meanwhile, back at the ranch, one of our major legislative bodies will appear to idle a week or so of everyone's time throwing a rather unproductive tantrum over health care reform. It seems pretty hard to move forward in any big steps here in the US, a quality that may catch up with us later as other countries move forward and we're stuck in comprimising comprimise).
