NEW | As batteries become cheaper and more efficient, costs to store daytime solar are plummeting.
Outside China and the US, it now only costs an additional $33/MWh to transform daytime solar into dispatchable nighttime energy 🔋

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.

The shift to EVs is happening—fast. Manufacturers can either embrace the long-term transition or chase short-term gains by clinging to petrol and diesel.
