何倩然 / He Qianran
He Qianran appears in E229｜从手工作坊到全球第一：中国动力电池逆袭史 as a guest with materials-science, battery R&D, and investment background. She frames global power-battery competition as a long marathon in which China has moved ahead through scale, supply-chain closure, and manufacturing process knowledge, while the United States remains stronger in some original technologies and startup research directions.
Her contribution is to separate invention from industrial victory. She argues that American labs produced or advanced important battery chemistries, but Battery Manufacturing Know-How, Power Battery Industry Chain density, and patient factory iteration decide whether those technologies become mass production.
