Russia Building World's Largest Li-Ion Battery Plant
MikeChino writes "Russia and China are gearing up to dominate the lithium-ion battery industry by launching the world's largest Li-ion plant (press release). Planned for Novobirsk, Russia, the facility will be a joint venture between Chinese firm Thunder Sky and RUSNANO (a Russian state-run corporation) and it will be able to produce up to 500,000 batteries (of all sizes) per year."
This might just kick the electric car into mainstream mass production, as the cost of reasonable battery technology falls below production costs with illegal subsidies.
SJW: a person who perceives an injustice, and while correcting it, commits a greater injustice.
In Communist China, battery is fully charged. Please ignore actual reading on dial.
If Slashdot were chemistry it would look like this:Cadaverine
China and Russia? Those two are among the major producers of lithium.
And the two counties with the lowest product standards and safety laws.
I don't know, but it works for me.
Not even close. The problem in both is failure in making companies follow the laws that are in place, not making laws. At least a third of countries in the world has worse product standards and safety laws then China and Russia.
