> China has 350 million electric two-wheelers, 20 million EVs.

And yet they have the most coal plants, and the most coal plants under construction. This comparison includes India.

This is PM2.5 map of Beijing today: https://earth.nullschool.net/#2026/08/20/0200Z/particulates/...

This is London: https://earth.nullschool.net/#2026/08/20/0200Z/particulates/...

This is East USA: https://earth.nullschool.net/#2026/08/20/0200Z/particulates/...

They are not even close.

For the kicks, here is Delhi today: https://earth.nullschool.net/#2026/08/20/0200Z/particulates/...

Also lower than Beijing. (There's a hotspot to the west of Delhi due to wildfires.)
