Cheng of MIH said electric vehicles (EVs) will not only become a mode of transportation over the next 10 years, but a secondary living space that is self-driving, with reduced carbon dioxide emissions. He added that Taiwan needs to master key chip-making technologies and work with domestic and international electric vehicle circles to carve out a niche in the global electric vehicle industry.
