China EV Study Tour & New Energy Immersion

China produces and sells more electric vehicles than the rest of the world combined. Our China EV study tour and China automotive industry study tour take you inside the factories and innovation centers powering this revolution. Witness the world's largest EV market first-hand.

What You'll Experience

Tour BYD's vertically integrated manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen
Visit CATL's battery R&D center — the world's largest EV battery manufacturer
Understand China's EV supply chain from raw materials to finished vehicles
Explore the charging infrastructure ecosystem and battery swap technology
Learn about China's dual-carbon policy and green energy transition strategy

Featured Companies

BYD

World's largest EV manufacturer. Visit their Shenzhen campus including vehicle assembly lines, battery production, and monorail system.

CATL

Global leader in EV batteries with 37% market share. Tour their advanced manufacturing lines and learn about next-gen battery technology.

NIO

Premium EV brand known for battery-swap technology. Visit their flagship experience centers and understand their user-community model.

GAC AION

GAC's electric vehicle brand, recognised in the World Economic Forum's Global Lighthouse Network for advanced intelligent manufacturing and sustainability. A useful counterpoint to BYD and NIO: how an established automaker builds an EV operation rather than starting from a clean sheet.

China's EV & New Energy Dominance

China produces and sells more electric vehicles than the rest of the world combined. Beyond passenger cars, the ecosystem spans battery technology, charging infrastructure, energy storage, and grid integration. Our EV & New Energy immersion reveals how Chinese companies achieved cost leadership, vertical integration, and speed-to-market that Western competitors are still struggling to match.

Battery leadership — CATL and BYD control over 50% of global EV battery supply
Vertical integration — From raw materials to finished vehicles under one roof
Policy acceleration — Government mandates and subsidies driving rapid adoption

This programme is ideal for sustainability officers, operations directors, automotive executives, and investors tracking the energy transition. All visits include strategic-level dialogue suited to board and C-suite audiences.

Who This Programme Is For

This intensive programme is designed for automotive executives, investors, and decision-makers, energy sector strategists, sustainability directors, and investors tracking the global EV transition. Participants gain direct exposure to China's end-to-end EV supply chain — from battery chemistry and cell manufacturing to vehicle assembly and charging infrastructure. Whether you represent an established automotive OEM evaluating supply chain partnerships or an energy company exploring battery storage opportunities, this immersive experience provides the strategic context and executive-level access you need.

Questions Executives Ask About China EV Immersion

The questions we hear most often from European automotive, energy and supply-chain leaders before they commit to a programme.

Will an EV programme show us real production, or just polished showrooms?

Real production. Itineraries are built around operational access — battery cell lines, vehicle assembly, charging and energy-storage systems — with the engineering and manufacturing teams accountable for them. If a plant cannot host visitors in a given week, we say so and substitute rather than fill the slot with a showroom.

How do we benchmark Chinese EV companies against European OEMs on cost and technology?

That is the right question, and the honest answer is that a programme gives you the evidence to form the comparison yourself rather than a scorecard handed to you. You sit with the people who run the operations and can ask about cost structure, technology roadmaps and scale directly. The benchmarking work itself remains your team's.

Can we meet the battery and engineering teams, not only marketing?

Yes. Programmes are arranged at peer level, so the people you sit with are the ones accountable for the technology, not a visitor-relations function. Where a topic is commercially sensitive, we agree the boundary with you and the host in advance.

We are evaluating supply-chain partners. Can the programme support that?

It can, with a caveat: we arrange access and introductions, but commercial terms and due diligence are yours. Many groups use a programme to shortlist candidates and then run their own follow-up.
