Simple Trek/Bosch battery strategy

With our three Trek RIB ebikes our battery strategy is a simple one. I wanted all three of our Treks to be adjusted to allow any of our 4 batteries to fit just in case we have any issues in the future. We have found that our Rail 5 and our Allant+7 Lowstep can share batteries straight out of the box. The Allant+7 high step, having had a bit of trouble getting the original battery to release, was adjusted, possibly a hair too far. This didn’t allow the other batteries to work with it. With the arrival of the new Bosch 625wh battery, I’ve now had the Trek cover installed and our Trek tech adjust the highstep and all 4 batteries to fit each ebike. One spare for a long tour or to be there just in case of a problem. Simple.

Good call. No range anxiety now!

TrailSeeker said: @Dallant , sorry I know this thread is old but it's still a relevant question: isn't the 625wh battery only compatible with the allant 8 and 9? I know that you had the technician adjust the bikes, but I thought the 625wh battery wouldn't fit in the allant+7/allant +7S models? That's one of the reasons I decided on the 2nd battery as the 625 wasn't available- at least that's what I thought was the case. I thought they were too long for the frame. (I should mention I have the staggard frame so that could be why, possibly). Thanks Click to expand...

Thanks @Dallant , good information! I think in hindsight I would've just asked to upgrade to the 625wh battery from the 500wh powertube. I opted for the range extender since the power speed motor doesn't have as much range on it as the other power series motors. I like the range extender but it does add like 7 or 8 pounds to the bike which is already pretty heavy. At least I can get good range on it though, in case I ever need it (plus I can always take the 2nd battery off if i know it'll be a short trip). So far im loving the Allant!

Shogun7s+ said: Are you saying that the you had trouble getting the original battery out and they were able to adjust it to work better? I have had trouble getting my battery into the frame and being able to remove the key on my Allant+ 7s and have to usually try several times to get the battery to sit and get my key out, but I figured that was just normal - I didn't know that it was possible to adjust the locking mechanism and/or battery to make it work better. Click to expand...

Dallant said: Yes. It’s better for the battery to be stuck in than to fall out, of course. I never had any problem getting the battery in. It only took my Trek guy an hour to get the battery out and make it work perfectly after that. As for the key, I had a similar issue with the key to my Rail 5. I took a wire wheel to it to smooth out the rough edges and that made it work smoother. Click to expand...

Shogun7s+ said: Thanks for the reply - it doesn't seem to be the key itself as I can get it in, turn it and get it out just fine if there is no battery present. It's something about the way the battery sits on the latch that is preventing it from allowing me to get the key out. I figured it was normal, but it sounds like there may be some adjustments that can be made. Click to expand...

TrailSeeker said: Hmm... now that I think about it, after using the key - I have to remove the battery in order to turn the key again and remove it. I think that's what you're saying you have to do as well, right? I can't just turn the key and remove it before taking out the battery Click to expand...

Shogun7s+ said: The issue I have is that when I go to put the battery into the frame I must insert the key and turn it in order to get the battery to set. Then, after the battery sets, in order to remove the key I need to turn it back to the position it was in when inserted into the lock in the first place. I am able to turn the key back to that position (or close to it) and the battery will not fall out of the frame, but I am unable to remove the key. In order to remove the key, I usually have to turn the key back, remove the battery and start the process over again until I can remove the key with the battery in the frame. I am assuming the issue is that when I turn the key back, it is moving the bolt to the locked position and it is holding the battery in place, but it is not turning enough to release the key. The bolt and battery are likely not aligning properly so the bolt cannot fully engage. Click to expand...

I have similar experiences with my RIB batteries. Can’t get the key out and have to start the process over again. Not sure why, but the last 3 or 4 times the battery has gone in and the key comes out as designed. So, there must be a right and wrong way, although nothing appears to influence the lucky outcome.

Holland-Tim-Allant+8S

• Dec 26, 2021

Dallant, I have copied your battery strategy. We purchased matching Allant +8S stagger frames (Large for me and Medium for the wife) which came with 625 WH batteries. But we had first ordered Powerfly 9’s with 625 WH batteries. I thought a lot about the battery bike strategy including the clever Bosch Booster (500 WH) optional feature. It turned out the range of the Allant with 625 WH exceeds any ride I can do at about 110 miles in ECO at 12-14 mph average speed. So I don’t need the clever Boost battery. Now that we received our Powerflys, we have four (4) identical 625 WH batteries that are swappable between all four (4) bikes. I think Trek’s frame-battery-motor compatibility between diverse products is exceptionally customer friendly and probably a smart business strategy. Win-Win. I know I am deeply ($$$) into Trek and will be keeping my nine year old car for a long time, Lord willing. But pretty much having the time of my life. Tim  

My wife and I have a pair of Verve+3 with Powertube 500 batteries. I can swap batteries between bikes but the batteries don’t swap that great. I had to pry one out once. As a rule we don’t need to swap them. Ive also had problems getting the keys out. Sometimes the battery won’t quite seat 100% and I have to force the battery in a little bit to get the key out. We have also had one battery fall out once and come partly loose. I’ve just gotten to the point I keep a small bungee wrapped around the battery to make sure they don’t fall out. I have taken them in to be adjusted but still less than perfect.

Trek Allant+ Review

Editorial Team

Ebicycles score.

The Trek Allant+ is a robust and stylish high-performance ebike that’s packed with state-of-the-art features and all the necessary accessories.

It sets the standard for electric commuter bikes in terms of practicality, speed, and reliability, but it comes at a premium price that may not fit everyone’s budget.

Whether you are a seasoned ebike commuter or a casual city rider, the Trek Allant+ could be the right choice for you thanks to the functionality its Bosch electronics and Shimano components offer.

In this comprehensive review, we will delve into the nuances of the Allant+, examining its design, features, performance, and how it stands up against the competition.

• MSRP: $3,800 – $6,350
• Class & Speed: 1 (20 mph) or 3 (28 mph)
• Motor:  Bosch Performance CX or Performance Speed
• Battery:  500 Wh or 625 Wh
• Range:  Calculate

Trek Allant+ Full Review

The Allant+ is one of Trek’s best-selling series of ebikes, blending modern design and high-tech features. These are high-performance ebikes with top speeds of 20 mph to 28 mph, depending on the class and specs.

All models are equipped with a Bosch motor and battery, Shimano derailleurs and hydraulic disc brakes, lights, as well as all the accessories necessary for daily riding.

The Trek Allant+ is every city commuter’s dream as its Bosch motor provides plenty of torque and the 500-625 Wh batteries offer enough capacity for a few days of riding. In case that’s not enough for you, you can also add a second long-range battery to double the range.

Related post:  Trek Verve+ 2 Ebike Review

All models also feature Trek’s proprietary Removable Integrated Battery (RIB) system for a sleek look and easy charging. The batteries are seamlessly integrated into the downtube, but easy to remove and replace or charge off the bike.

The Trek Allant+ is a robust and stylish high-performance ebike, setting the standard for electric commuter bikes in terms of practicality, speed, and reliability.

With several frame variations including step-over, stagger, and low-step, the Allant+ ebikes truly fit everyone’s needs.

Though the pricing is much higher compared to direct-to-consumer brands such as Aventon, Ride1UP, or Lectric, the quality of the components is a lot higher as well and there’s also the big-brand appeal that many riders are keen on.

Trek Allant+ Pros and Cons

Rider-friendly aluminum frame.

Trek Allant+ comes with a sleek-looking aluminum frame with integrated battery and cables, available in three variations:

Trek is a rare brand that offers its bikes in three variations, as most other brands only offer step-over and step-through frames. The Stagger variation is somewhere in between.

If you like ebikes with a clean look and a simple color palette, you’ll like Trek Allant+’s design. All cables are integrated and the battery is almost unnoticeable, hidden inside the down tube.

This aluminum frame is paired with a 45 mm suspension fork on the Allant+ 7 and 7S models, a rigid alloy fork on the Allant+ 8 model, and a rigid carbon fork on the Allant+ 9.9 models.

The frame is also equipped with a wide range of accessories which make it fully commuter-ready. You can read more about it in the section below.

High-Performance Bosch Motor and Battery

The heart and soul of Trek Allant+ ebikes is a Bosch mid-drive motor coupled with an integrated but removable Bosch PowerTube battery.

The most affordable Allant+ 7 and 7S builds come with Bosch Performance CX drive units, and all the other models come with faster and more powerful Performance Speed units.

Likewise, the Allant+ 7 and 7S builds have 500 Wh batteries, while all the other models boast larger 625 Wh batteries that offer more range.

• Related: Best E-Bikes with a Bosch Motor

Of course, all builds use modern torque sensors, feature large Bosch displays, and have app connectivity which lets you customize assistance levels and overall ride feel.

High-Quality Shimano Builds

At the moment of writing this Allant+ review, Trek offers this series of ebikes in four builds:

• Trek Allant+ 7
• Trek Allant+ 7S
• Trek Allant+ 8S
• Trek Allant+ 9.9S

As you can see in the section about electronics above, they mainly differ in motor power, battery capacity, and top speeds. However, they also differ in terms of drivetrain components and the brakes they use.

The most basic Trek Allant+ 7 build features 2-piston hydraulic disc brakes, whereas all the other builds with 28 mph top speeds have 4-piston hydraulic discs as they need more braking power.

Its blend of Bosch and Shimano technology offers unrivaled reliability and functionality, making it an excellent choice for both dedicated ebike commuters and casual city riders.

Naturally, if you pay more you’ll also get a better groupset, ranging from Shimano Alivio, over Deore, all the way to XT.

Durable Commute-Ready Accessories

If you want to replace your car with a capable ebike, you’ll appreciate the fact that Trek Allant+ ebikes come pre-equipped with all the accessories you could possibly need for year-round commuting.

This includes front and rear fenders, front and rear lights, a rear rack, and a kickstand. All builds come with the same accessories, regardless of the price.

The only disadvantage with these is that the rear racks on the more expensive models sit lower than the fenders, so you may only use them to attach panniers. You can’t use them to strap a basket or a backpack on top. Though it’s fair to say that most commuters travel with panniers so this may be a problem only for a select few.

Trek Allant+ Downsides

Apart from the potential issue some riders may have with the rear rack that we mentioned above, Trek Allant+ doesn’t really have any downsides.

The main thing that will deter some people from buying it is its price. Namely, you can get a much cheaper model from direct-to-consumer brands that does pretty much the same things that the Allant+ models do.

Despite its premium price tag, the Trek Allant+ delivers a remarkable fusion of comfort, style, and performance.

However, Trek does it a lot better, looks A LOT nicer, and is arguably more durable with better customer support. So it’s up to you to determine your priorities and decide if these perks are worth the upcharge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a trek allant+ 9.9 weigh.

The Trek Allant+ 9.9 weighs around 49 lb, which is great for a fully equipped city commuter electric bike, especially considering it has a high-capacity battery and numerous accessories. Most similar electric bikes weigh upwards of 50 lb, with some lower-cost models weighing over 60 lb.

Why is Trek so expensive?

Trek’s bikes are more expensive than many direct-to-consumer brands but cost around the same as other big-name brands. The reason Trek is more expensive than brands such as Aventon, Ride1UP or Lectric is that it uses higher-quality Bosch and Shimano components and has a popular name to back up the price.

What is the top speed of Trek Allant+ 7S?

The Trek Allant+ 7S’s top speed is 28 mph, which makes it a class 3 electric bike. All Allant+ models with an “S” behind the model name have a 28 mph top speed, whereas the models without an “S” have a 20 mph top speed, meaning they fall into the class 1 category.

What frame configurations is Allant+ available in?

The Trek Allant+ is available in Step-Over, Stagger, and Low-Step frame configurations. This makes it suitable for a wide array of riders who need different functionalities from their ebikes. All frame configurations cost the same and come with the same combination of accessories.

What is the range of the Trek Allant+ 9?

Trek does not disclose the exact range of the Allant+ 9 model because the mileage depends on a lot of factors, such as the rider and cargo weight, PAS level, terrain, weather, and so on. You can use Bosch’s Ebike Range Calculator to get a rough estimate of what mileage you can expect from a full charge.

Our Verdict: Ride or Pass?

The Trek Allant+ ebike series delivers a premium, high-performance ride experience with top-notch components, significant range, and high speeds.

Despite its steeper price tag, the blend of Bosch and Shimano technology offers unrivaled reliability and functionality, making this series an excellent choice for both dedicated ebike commuters and casual city riders.

Its versatile frame design, impressive accessory list, and the possibility to extend its range further enhance Allant+’s appeal.

Equipped with top-notch components, significant range, and high speeds, this ebike series solidifies Trek’s reputation as a leader in the industry.

While it may not fit everyone’s budget, those willing to invest in the Trek Allant+ will find it a remarkable fusion of comfort, style, and performance.

We can conclude that this series is well worth considering, solidifying Trek’s reputation as a leader in the ebike industry.

Rail battery cover removal

Anyone know how to remove the cover off the battery? Bike shop scratched mine up and ordered me a new one but didn't tell me how to remove the old one. Looks like it just slides off but I don't want to damage the battery case trying to remove the old one.

If they scratched it...they should replace it for you! But, basically you need to remove the plastic end caps with a few different size of Torx drivers. 6 on one end, 4 on the other. Don't lose the little spring and pusher on the handle side when you take it off. Then the cover just slides off.

knobster said: Yeah you're right about that! It had been nearly a year since this happened and I posted a negative review of their store and boom, they ordered the cover. Funny how that works. Thanks for the info on that. I had removed the end cap opposite of the handle and thought it would just slide off that direction, but nope... Click to expand...

• Apr 6, 2021

Yeah you're right. You just need to remove the bottom cover or the handle cover entirely (doesn't matter), and then the smaller 2x screws on the opposing end.

Trek Allant+ 7 Review and Test

Having tested a variety of Trek's high-quality electric bicycles, the Allant+ 7 continues its tradition of well-designed performance machines at an affordable price point. Pairing a durable aluminum frame with proven Bosch drive components enables confident adventures on pavement or light trails.

Its compact build makes the Allant+ 7 accessible for different riders, with its low step-through design and adjustable sizing from Small to Extra Large. The integrated battery remains stealthily hidden from view, maintaining a clean appearance. The overall weight of 54 lbs remains nimble despite formidable e-bike components underneath.

Powering the Allant+ 7 is a Bosch Performance CX mid-drive motor. Rated at 250W continuous power, this motor provides eager acceleration. Its magnesium motor housing keeps weight low while maintaining strength. Assist scales sensitively based on pedaling input, feeling natural without overwhelming the rider. The top assisted speed is 20 mph, allowing for pavement rides alongside traffic. Bosch's proven motor offers reliable, elegant performance perfectly matched to Trek's renowned frame quality for balanced and enjoyable e-riding.

Powering the Allant+ 7 for extended adventures is a Bosch PowerTube 500 integrated downtube battery. Rated at 500Wh capacity, it packs plenty of energy using 40 lightweight lithium-ion 18650 cells in a 36V configuration. During testing, the 13.4Ah battery provided impressive range. An optional second battery doubles that capability using Bosch's Range Boost feature. Weighing just 6.4 pounds, the unobtrusive PowerTube packs substantial power into its compact hydroformed casing. Riders enjoy countless emissions-free miles per charge.

Frame 

Trek crafts the Allant+ 7's lightweight yet durable frame from high-performance 6061 hydroformed aluminum. Its integral downtube hatch houses the removable PowerTube battery while maintaining a clean appearance. Internal cabling keeps lines tidy. The frame seamlessly integrates Bosch's motor with protective Motor Armour reinforcement. Rack and fender mounts extend cargo options. Up front, an SR Suntour Mobie 25 suspension fork soaks up 45mm of trail bumps through a lockable coil spring and rebound damping adjustable via its tapered steerer. The compatible fork travel reaches a maximum of 63mm for rugged rides off-road.

The Allant+ 7 is powered by a proven Bosch Performance Line CX motor mounted internally in the frame. This mid-drive unit is rated at 250W continuous with 85Nm peak torque and provides natural and responsive pedal assistance. Its top assisted speed of 20 mph on the Class 1 e-bike allows comfortable cruising alongside traffic. Riders enjoy efficient boosted miles on every pedal stroke.

Trek estimates the Allant+ 7's 500Wh integrated PowerTube battery can extend rides up to 50 miles on a single charge. During testing, the long-lasting lithium-ion power pack endured multiple long-distance mixed-terrain journeys without issue. Thanks to the robust on-board energy source, riders enjoy ample freedom to explore further before recharging.

The Allant+ 7 steers nimbly through traffic yet tracks true on uneven surfaces, inspiring riding confidence. Its stable handling nature and widely-spaced wheels encourage exploring distant destinations with ease. Combined with sturdy 2.4-inch tires built for puncture resistance, the Allant+ 7 rolls over pavement cracks, gravel paths, and dirt roads comfortably while damping bumps and brambles effectively.

A Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brake setup provides reliable stopping power. Large 180mm rotors grasped by the dual-piston brake calipers at the front and rear bring the Allant+7 to a rapid, controlled halt from any speed. Whether soaking up speed during descents or coming to a quick stop in traffic, precise modulation is enabled by the brakes' responsiveness. The hydro system requires little to no maintenance and performs dependably even in wet conditions. With maximum rotor sizes of 180mm front and rear, plenty of braking force is available for varied riding situations.

Wheels and Tires

The Allant+ 7 features durable wheels well-suited for on and off-road cycling. The rims are Alex MD35 with 32 tension-supported spokes and tubeless compatibility for low maintenance and puncture protection. Their 35mm width and Presta valve stems endure demanding terrain. Schwalbe G-One folding tires in a versatile 650x57mm (27.5x2.1") size offer dependable cushioning with fast-rolling speed. The max tire clearance of 27.5x2.4" allows fitting larger rubber for heavy loads or serious trail use if desired. These components provide smooth rolling over varied surfaces while holding up to heavy loads and electric pedal assistance.

The Allant+ 7 utilizes a simple yet effective control interface to manage its Bosch-powered system easily.

Information and assistance levels are adjusted via Bosch's proven Purion display unit. Its large 1.75-inch grayscale LCD screen clearly shows current speed, battery level, ride metrics, and assist level in an easy-to-read format. Convenient buttons allow the rider to increase or decrease pedal support or engage the walk mode with intuitive controls. Holding buttons accesses additional functions like lights and readout changes.

Pedal-assist and Throttle

The Allant+ 7 relies solely on pedal assistance without a throttle for the most natural riding feel. Its Bosch system measures the rider's every pedal stroke over 1,000 times per second to instantly adjust power output proportionate to input between the four Eco, Tour, Sport, and Turbo levels.

Shifting through 9-speed gears is handled with a Shimano Alivio M3100 shifter and T4000 rear derailleur combination, providing reliable performance. An alloy narrow-wide chainring from 40-48T sizes paired with an 11-36T HG200 cassette cassette offers a wide range of ratios well-suited to hilly terrain or high-speed pavement. Durable components ensure confident pedaling in any condition.

Trek ships the Allant+ 7 almost completely assembled for a quick and simple startup. After carefully removing the e-bike from its compact shipping carton, riders need only install the wheels by threading the quick-release axles and inflating the tires to the proper pressure. The handlebar and saddle can then be adjusted to the rider's measurements using easy-to-turn screws. Once the battery is fitted into its downtube port and the included 3A wall charger is plugged in for a full charge, the Allant+ 7 is ready for smooth assisted rides. Minimal assembly means more time enjoying electric adventures on two wheels.

Accessories

Several included and optional accessories expand the Allant+ 7's versatility.

The rugged Racktime rear rack is a worthwhile addition to transport personal items and purchases on trips around town or longer tours into the countryside. Constructed of durable aluminum alloy, it boasts a weight capacity of 55 pounds, so runners, panniers, or boxes can be carried confidently. The rack's standard gauge tubing ensures rigidity, whether the path is smooth or bumpy. Its sliding rear mount with integrated bungee loops gives multiple flexible options to safely and securely lash down anything from a backpack and jacket to a weekend's groceries. On long e-bike journeys or daily commute utility runs, this rack proves sturdy yet lightweight for extended loaded carrying convenience.

These full-coverage plastic fenders are an essential accessory for frequent all-weather riding. Mounted securely at the front and rear through threaded dedicated attachment posts, they shield the electric drivetrain components from splashing mud, grit and road spray with ease. Their 65mm width blankets the wheels completely while allowing adequate clearance for tire changes when required. The snap-on installation process takes mere minutes, and they can be swiftly removed for compact transport or storage. Whether braving rains or sliding through puddles, the fenders keep the bike clean and protected, reducing corrosion and maintenance needs for a longer component lifespan.

Mounted through a heavy-duty 18mm connection point directly at the frame's rear for maximum stability, the retractable kickstand is an essential convenience when stopping for breaks or arriving at a destination. Its wide stance can balance the loaded Allant+ 7 impeccably on all terrains, from paved paths to loose gravel. Small yet sturdy springs cushion open and closed movements to avoid stress on the mounting hardware. Riders of all heights trust its steady support, whether parking for a quick coffee shop run or securing the bike upright overnight at camp. The included kickstand adds hassle-free practicality to any adventure on two wheels.

Ensuring safety and peace of mind on evening rides, the 180-lumen Hermans headlight and powerful dual-LED AXA rear light are essential gear. Permanently and securely mounted to the fork crown and rear rack, respectively, through rugged attachment points, these lights integrate flawlessly into the Allant+ 7's structure. From dark trails to dawn commutes, their bright beams and side-facing reflectors cut through the gloom, alerting others to the rider's presence and illuminating the path ahead with clear visibility. Designed for all-weather use, the lights remain impervious to rain or spray, keeping rides stress-free even after sunset or before daybreak when conditions demand extra visibility.

The Allant+ 7 is offered in size Medium or Large/XL to accommodate a wide range of riders. Medium-sized bikes feature a 170mm alloy crank arm length for riders between 5'3" to 5'8", providing optimum ground clearance and full pedal stroke ergonomics. For taller individuals from 5'8" and above, the Large and XL models upgrade to a slightly longer 175mm crank. Beyond the powertrain, the bikes adjust easily with seat posts and handlebars that slide and lock to the preferred set-up. Regardless of size, the Allant+ 7 maintains consistent geometry to ensure confident handling for all riders exploring together on the trail or road.

At its accessible price point, the Trek Allant+ 7 delivers well-rounded e-bike performance. Its capable blend of Bosch components and quality Trek frame construction prove it a solid value. Riders enjoy aided miles from casual joyrides to daily commutes over varied surfaces. And Bosch's renowned durability provides years of dependable service.

The Trek Allant+ 7's balance of features and value makes it a smart purchase for recreational riding or heavy-duty errands. It expands access to enjoyable rides while unlocking versatile adventures.

For commuting or recreational riding on pavement and light trails, the Trek Allant+ 7 delivers capable performance at an attractive price. Its stalwart Bosch-powered system pairs dependably with Trek's renowned frame quality. Riders feel empowered to explore farther with countless miles of on-board range.

While not as burly as high-end e-MTBs, the Allant+ 7 handles varied terrain with balance and poise. Beginners and experienced riders alike will enjoy the empowering adventures it enables.

For versatile daily transportation or recreational riding, the Allant+ 7 earns a strong recommendation. Trek has crafted an accessible, well-designed e-bike for active lifestyles at an affordable value.

Green Energy

Electrek green energy brief.

• Offshore wind power

2023 was a record year for wind power growth – in numbers

The global wind industry installed 117 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity in 2023, making it the best year ever for new wind energy – here’s what happened and where. 

The Global Wind Report 2024 , newly released by the Global Wind Energy Council representing the entire wind energy sector, found that the 117 GW of installations in 2023 represent a 50% year-over-year increase from 2022. Annual wind installations increased in all regions except Europe and North America.

Further, the year saw 54 countries representing all continents build new wind power. The top 5 markets for new wind installations are China, US, Brazil, Germany, and India.

China set a new record with 75 GW of new installations commissioned, which makes up nearly 65% of the global total. That underpinned a record year for the Asia-Pacific region, which saw year-over-year growth of 106%.

Brazil installed 4.8 GW of wind in 2023, putting the country in third place globally. As a result, Latin America also saw record year-over-year growth of 21%.

Wind installations in Africa & Middle East increased in 2023 by 182% compared with 2022.

Global cumulative wind power capacity passed the first 1 terawatt (TW) milestone in 2023, and now totals 1,021 GW, following year-over-year growth of 13%.

Onshore wind had the best year on record in 2023, surpassing 100 GW in a single year with 106 GW, or a year-over-year growth of 54%. Offshore wind had its second-best year on record with 10.8 GW total installed.

The Global Wind Energy Council announced that it’s revised its 2024-2030 growth forecast (1210 GW) upwards by 10%, in response to the wind industry “entering a new era of accelerated growth driven by increased political ambition.”

Ben Backwell, CEO of GWEC, said:

It’s great to see wind industry growth picking up, and we are proud of reaching a new annual record. However, much more needs to be done to unlock growth by policymakers, industry, and other stakeholders to get on to the 3X pathway needed to reach net zero. Growth is highly concentrated in a few big countries like China, the US, Brazil, and Germany, and we need many more countries to remove barriers and improve market frameworks to scale up wind installations.
