World’s largest battery maker announces major breakthrough in energy density
“A new era of universal electrification of sea, land and air transportation.” CATL announces new battery that doubles energy intensity.
This is good news, it unlocks significant potential in energy storage, greener transportation and much more.
If they can manage to have an electric private jet that could cut emissions immensely.
