He started working for Audi in 1991, where he contributed to research and development efforts.

As minister, Wan promoted the development of electric vehicles, and has been nicknamed the "father of China’s electric car industry". He retired as minister in 2018, and later stepped down as CPPCC vice chairman in 2023. Provided by Wikipedia
