The National Electric Vehicle Sweden (Nevs), which bought the bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab in 2012, has revealed a big deal worth $12 billion: an order for electric cars placed by a Chinese leasing company.

At the end of 2014, there were 665,000 electric cars in the world and 83,000 of them could be found in China.
