      I’ve been saying for decades if we only had advanced battery tech, oh the things we could do.
      I’ve had an electric scooter since I got to China and it’s great. Love the thing. Yes ti will run out of battery so you have to charge it. A battery is enough for a day’s use usually. No, you don’t drive to Tibet on a single charge.

        And different types of batteries work best for different purposes too. If you’re making a vehicle then weight and size matters. If you’re building battery parks for grid stability then cost is a bigger concern. China is going to end up with a big toolbox which will allow for efficient solutions no matter the context.
