For the curious people, if you want to read a little more on wireless charging & why now (and why I moved into the space!)

It makes two main points: if you don’t do this you stifle the growth of (particularly) Birmingham and Manchester; and without it the WCML and M6 will be full within ten years. Ten years is not long in transport planning terms

[Jennifer Williams @JenWilliams_FT]

Interesting first test for the new govt’s position on new transport infrastructure in the north: long awaited study commissioned by mayors calls for new line up the west coast - or the corridor falls over within the decade

Despite that, Volvo is still expecting around 90% of cars to be fully electric or PHEV by 2030 - a major accomplishment and one that would not occur without the various EV leaders setting the pace.

[James Wroe @jcwroe]

Another standard bearer recognising that the pace of change is not quite as fast as expected

@paulg @typesfast Worth a read of an interview out today in the trade press. TLDR: explicitly against fear of job reduction https://t.co/M4P2n5PRUF”%20he%20said.

Great to be back in Hamburg

The way that Jensen Huang runs Nvidia is wild: 40 direct reports. No 1:1s. No formal planning cycles. And no status reports.

In a recent interview, he went in-depth on his Leadership style. Every entrepreneur must understand why it works:

Luca Maestri steps down as Apple CFO after 11 years at the helm.

Market cap has grown by nearly 10x in that time. Not to mention the largest share repurchase program in history (must be around $700B-800B under his watch - growing at $25B per quarter).

He’s had a hell of a run, albeit under the easiest possible circumstances a CFO could wish for; he inherited a FCF volcano.

Great to see them promote a successor internally in Kaven Parekh. I expect there’ll be more threats to Apple’s FCF generation in the next decade than there has been in the last.

Best of luck to him.

Ps - I once showed this clip of Luca to my VP of treasury when he asked for a bigger team : )

Lithium Ion Battery prices are plunging.

That's great news for EVs, Solar and Wind.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Let's give credit to China here, because over the past few years they've been entirely responsible for these price drops. America used to be the big mover here, but we fell off.

China is powering a global energy revolution that will touch every corner of the economy.

Indeed. And of course at the same time in Scotland,

Good morning Rotterdam, see you inside @Break_Bulk Europe today 🤝🌍🚛🔋

Happy to have contributed to a long read in the established mainstream media on what decentralising power in Britain could now do for buses in Bolton. Including a controversial proposal that's worked in Birmingham. https://t.co/s2ApdHGBEb

Always great to be in Rotterdam 🇳🇱

@InductEV Seeing a port vehicle charge up wirelessly is an amazing experience and, while there is plenty still to do, it will become something more & more common over the coming year #wirelesscharging #electrification
