Chapter 172

Sheila's fingers curled unconsciously.

She knew exactly what project they were talking about.

After Timothy's new solid-state battery technology broke into the international market, it took off fast.

Two years ago, when Timothy set his sights on bringing his batteries home, he launched a nationwide network of automated charging stations for electric cars- essentially eliminating the need for drivers to worry about battery life.

People who bought electric vehicles could now opt for models without batteries and simply rent one from the shared stations. If this caught on, domestic battery makers would face a massive disruption.

The Zimmerman Group, being the country's earliest electric vehicle manufacturer, had its own battery division.

The moment they caught wind of Timothy's plans, they acted overnight. Every service center under their name was swiftly refitted with this new charging station infrastructure. As soon as compatible batteries arrived, they'd be up and running.

For Timothy, just breaking into the domestic market, rolling out enough stations nationwide meant scouting locations, building facilities—nothing that could be accomplished in a day or two.
