Very interesting perspective on the supply chain dependency for batteries. You advocate on the convenience of devoting subsidies to the improvement of the efficiency of internal combustion engines. Could you elaborate further in this? What area of research would you suggest to improve efficiency? And what is likely to be the best case scenario for reaching real improvements as % of the limits imposed by thermodynamics?
