China’s BEV trucks are breaking the freight economy: $63k–$92k USD for a purpose-built electric heavy truck — each one a lithium vacuum. BEVs now ~22% of China’s heavy-truck sales as diesel falls. The freight S-curve is igniting, & LFP/LMFP demand is about to explode. #Lithium #LFP #LFMP #Disruption

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
