September 11, 20223 yr Quote Britishvolt, the company currently building UK’s first large-scale electric vehicle battery manufacturing facility, or gigafactory, is attracting interest from major investors from the automobile industry. A market analyst, who asked to remain anonymous, told Express.co.uk: “They have the best site in the UK and a rapidly developing product, with the first batch of cells recently sent to customers for testing. "It’s no secret that there’s going to be a supply/demand imbalance for cells, especially sustainably produced cells.” ... Sources told Express.co.uk that the company may now be a target for mergers and acquisitions by the likes of “Jaguar Land Rover, or even Tesla”. This would mark a major takeover of the company, which is aiming to build around 300,000 electric battery packs a year through this gigafactory, with a total capacity of over 38 GWh.

October 31, 20223 yr Author So, this is what the Tories 'levelling-up' scheme looks like in practice. I wonder if site was in Royal Tumbridge Wells the money would be found. Remember what Rishydishysunac said to those Tories there ... he'd diverted support funding from deprived areas to affluent ones!

Remember what Rishydishysunac said to those Tories there ... he'd diverted support funding from deprived areas to affluent ones! I think the only good point to come out of this evenings local news was that the BBC presenters managed to say, after months of practise, Cammus and not Cam - bois.

January 17, 20233 yr Author Deep down I always felt that this would happen ... what a shame! Anyway, what we need is for Amanda at the Toon to phone Big Mo in Saudi to come to the rescue, or, failing that Sir Jim Ratcliffe of Ineos to pick-up the tab after buying MankU.
