Summarization
Chinese authorities are increasing scrutiny of Ford's battery technology agreement with CATL to protect Chinese IP. Furthermore, London is the second most expensive city to drive petrol vehicles in the world. Tesla is halting a Chinese plant for upgrades to produce a new Model 3. China has more commercially viable EV battery IP than the U.S. and the cost of batteries for use in bicycles is higher than expected.

- Petrol fuel costs: Driving a petrol-fueled car in London costs more than in any other city
- Electric vehicles: EV thrills of combustion engines, EVIP transfer
- News headlines: Scoop, tricky talks, clickbait business
