Summary

My guest is Cormac O'Laoire, PhD the Managing Director of Electrios Consultants . We have a far ranging discussion on the rise of China in the lithium-ion battery space. We cover how China out competed their formerly stronger rivals in Japan and Korea and discuss the current and future state of batteries, NEVs and BESS.
