Energy storage is becoming so important in China that it’s drawing bigger crowds than Disneyland.

More than 170,000 visitors are expected to descend on a Shanghai convention center over three days this week to view battery assemblies ranging in size from a shoe box to a shipping container. On a daily average, that would be higher than attendance at the city’s Disney-themed amusement park last year.
