[Recorded in December, 2020] David Li is a pioneer in the maker community in China. In 2010, he co-founded XinCheJian, the first hackerspace in China to promote open source hardware. He is the current Executive Director of Shenzhen Open Innovation Lab, which facilitates collaboration among global hardware entrepreneurs to build innovative, eco-friendly products along the Belt and Road. In this episode, we unpack the notion of a “maker space” and how this concept is applied to China, especially in places like Shenzhen. David Li explains how one particular innovation, low speed electric vehicles (LSEVs) are critical, and even more important, than the electric sedan. LSEVs are experiencing a breakthrough moment, with the GM-backed Wuling Hongguang selling 15,000 units, at $US 4,000 each, within only 20 days after hitting the China market.
China accounts for more than 50% of the global EV market, yet EVs make up roughly 5% of China’s total auto market as of 2020.

（录制于2020年12月）李大维（David Li）是中国创客社区的先驱。2010年，他与人合伙创办了“新车间”，这是中国第一家推广开源硬件的创客空间。他目前是深圳开放创新实验室的执行董事，该实验室致力于促进全球硬件企业家在“一带一路”沿线打造创新、环保产品的合作。在本期播客中，我们将阐释“创客空间”的概念，以及如何将其应用于中国尤其是深圳等地。David Li解释了低速电动汽车（LSEV）这种创新为何重要，甚至比电动轿车更重要。目前，LSEV正在经历一个重要的突破时刻，上汽通用五菱的宏光MINIEV在进入中国市场仅20天内就销售了1.5万辆，每辆售价4000美元。
中国占全球电动汽车市场的50%以上，但截至2020年，电动汽车仅占中国汽车市场总量的5%左右。
