gollark: It's a shame the new battery technologies never seem to actually... be deployed anywhere.
gollark: Wouldn't 50% year-on-year growth starting from 1 megacars now put them at more than 20 million in 2030?
gollark: How many cars per year do they have now?
gollark: Good for them, I suppose.
gollark: Really? I heard it was worsening because China was imposing strict power limits on factories and stuff.
