“In 2010, we spent time on the supercapacitor buses that circulated the ginormous Shanghai World Expo, marveling at how convincingly they pulled from the curb with the combined weight of 50 humans on board. When the Chinese Government decreed that the site emit no hydrocarbons, BYD got the job of building electric buses. They worked faultlessly.”
