The Cambrian Explosion of Mobility X

The electrification of mobility is progressing due to the promotion of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), particularly in Europe and China.

To shape the future, it is useful to look to history for clues. Let's look back at the history of energy transitions and the Industrial Revolution to envision the future of mobility electrification.
