BEIJING, May 12 (Xinhua) -- Sales of new energy vehicles (NEV) in China increased by nearly 250 percent year on year in the first four months amid the steady recovery of market demand, data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers showed Wednesday.

In the Jan.-April period, NEV sales amounted to 732,000 units, up 249.2 percent year on year. In April alone, NEV sales surged 180 percent year on year to reach 206,000 units, the data showed.
