While the conversation around the electric vehicle (EV) revolution typically gravitates toward battery range or autonomous driving software, a significant yet often overlooked challenge remains. The physical installation of EV chargers presents a major bottleneck in infrastructure rollout. Traditional installation methods are fraught with complications. The process involves excavating trenches, navigating underground utilities, pouring concrete, and managing unpredictable weather delays. Thes...

Start Small, Think Big: The Future of UK Gigafactories
In our latest episode, we spoke with Nikki Rimmington, a strategy expert from battery cell start-up Volklec, about UK gigafactory developments. With experience at Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin, Nikki shared insights into the UK's electrification journey. We discussed challenges and opportunities in battery production, localised supply chains, and how start-ups like Volklec compete in this industry. What is Volklec? Volklec is a UK start-up aiming to become the country's only independent ...
