"To be a champion, whether at the Olympic Games or in life, you need to set a goal and then do everything in your power to achieve that goal. When it comes to the climate crisis, scientists have set a target to limit global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. Right now, however, the science suggests that the increase in global temperature is more likely to be as high as 2.5 degrees Celsius.That's why I'm proud to work with Panasonic and help address this urgent issue."

This will increase our capacity around a further 60% to what we already have, so we can meet the surging customer demand. 66 batteries per second. 5.5 million batteries a day, that's 2 billion batteries per year,"
