"There’s a country that’s built more high speed electric rail than the rest of the world combined. It’s building 30,000 kilometres of electric truck charging corridors, with around 3,000 charging and battery swapping stations for heavy trucks, while electric trucks are still a tiny fraction of the fleet. And it made a massive bet on manufacturing electric cars back when almost nobody on Earth was buying one.

I spent two weeks in China filming this, and in this video I dig into why they got there so early, and what one decision, made decades apart across cars, trucks and trains, explains about how they pulled it all off."
