There are three in the UK, One next to Nissan's car plant in Sunderland, Britishvolt in Blyrh Northumberland which Aston Martin are heavily involved with their upcoming new EV models There's a huge battery gigafactory that's just recently got the nod to be built in the west Midlands which is a joint venture between Coventry council & Coventry airport. Jaguar will be using those batteries in it's upcoming BEV's when it transitions to electric in 2024. https://www.edie.net/news/8/Coventry...-the-go-ahead/
The new cobalt free LFP batteries are extremely reliable nowadays with BYD's Blade battery packs now warranted for ten years & are far less susceptible to fire risk even when the traction pack is punctured. https://www.autoconnectedcar.com/202...hen-punctured/
How long is it going to be before we have an odd/even number alternate driving days like they have in Italy with calls for drastic cuts in private car usage to reduce emissions even further? https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/env...ro-says-report |
