China's EV Makers Face Scrutiny Over 'Zero-Mileage' Sales Tactics

China's EV Makers Face Scrutiny Over 'Zero-Mileage' Sales Tactics

Imagine car companies selling brand-new electric cars at a discount to special dealers.

These cars get resold as if they've never been driven, even though they're technically used.

This helps the car companies make their sales numbers look better, even if the cars aren't really being bought by customers.

However, this is causing problems.

The government's newspaper is not happy, and it is warning companies to stop this practice.

The newspaper says that this messes up the market and could lead to more problems for both car companies and the people who buy the cars.

The main reason companies do this is because of a price war among electric vehicle makers.
