How is the Iran war affecting global demand for clean energy technologies, according to Gotion's chairman?

According to Gotion’s founder and chairman Li Zhen, the conflict in the Middle East has caused everyone to place 'more emphasis on the new energy transition,' as fossil fuel disruptions drive demand for clean-energy technology; he stated that advancements in solar, wind, and battery cost reductions enable governments to 'achieve self-sufficiency and not rely on fossil fuel supplies from a few countries.'

What are Gotion High-Tech’s key overseas expansion plans and challenges in the US?

Gotion plans to build 100 gigawatt-hours of battery capacity each in APAC, EMEA, and the Americas over five years, double overseas shipments this year, and open factories in the US, Morocco, and Slovakia (with the latter slated to start production by year-end); however, its $2.4 billion Michigan battery plant plan was halted due to withdrawal of support from US state and local partners.
