Countries like Brazil, India, and Vietnam are rapidly expanding solar and wind power. Poorer countries like Ethiopia and Nepal are leapfrogging over gasoline-burning cars to battery-powered ones. Nigeria, a petrostate, plans to build its first solar-panel manufacturing plant. Morocco is creating a battery hub to supply European automakers. Santiago, the capital of Chile, has electrified more than half of its bus fleet in recent years.

Key to this shift is the world’s new renewable energy superpower: China.

Renewables are cheap energy. EVs better value transportation that can also support energy grid/home. You are richer with access, even if you don't make it yourself, and especially if you don't have an expensive life in the future.
