His book 'The Great Race' is about people, politics and policy - writ large on the world stage. How has China come to increasingly dominate the global industrial landscape and what were the tipping point moments in...

Here's the thing...when it comes to the electric vehicle proposition - it's NOT all about the battery! What it IS all about of course when you come to think of it - is CHARGING!
