It is up about 60 per cent this year alone as demand for electric vehicles increases, countries work to reduce carbon emissions and costs tumble.\nCATL trades at more than 100 times estimated earnings, compared with about 13 times for its competitor Panasonic.\nIn addition to Tesla, CATL counts BMW and Volkswagen among its customers.\nIn an interview last year, Dr Zeng said he and Tesla chief executive officer Elon Musk text about technology, Covid-19 and Mr Musk's main interest: cheaper batteries and cars.\nDr Zeng, who earned his doctorate in condensed matter physics from the Chinese Academy of Science in Beijing, is not the only billionaire who is benefiting from the surge in CATL's stock. Mr Huang Shilin, a vice-chairman of the company, is worth more than US$21 billion, while Mr Li Ping, who is also a vice-chairman, has a fortune worth US$8.5 billion.\nAs Dr Zeng's star rises, Mr Ma's has been on the wane. The value of Mr Ma's fintech arm Ant Group has plummeted since the former English teacher openly pushed back against Beijing, prompting the Chinese authorities to quash the company's plans for a huge initial public offering. Mr Ma, 56, has all but dropped from public view, and has lost US$2.5 billion in wealth this year.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":173805611,"gmtCreate":1626651250433,"gmtModify":1633925333842,"author":{"id":"4088082497944800","authorId":"4088082497944800","name":"KrishA","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf838d687252b4eb6c3b470b4d52ffe9","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4088082497944800","authorIdStr":"4088082497944800"},"htmlText":"Liked&nbsp;","listText":"Liked&nbsp;","text":"Liked","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/173805611","repostId":2152968147,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":173177379,"gmtCreate":1626650848591,"gmtModify":1633925341196,"author":{"id":"3549621931578219","authorId":"3549621931578219","name":"5121221c","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3549621931578219","authorIdStr":"3549621931578219"},"htmlText":"Tell
