Recharge Industries, which also plans a factory in Geelong, says non-binding offer is in the company’s interests, as well as that of ‘our friends in the UK’
An Australian-based startup, Recharge Industries, has made a non-binding offer for the collapsed UK battery company Britishvolt that could revive plans to construct a large plant in northern England.
The bid was lodged in the UK late on Tuesday, shortly after a cash crunch at Britishvolt sent the company into administration. The collapse has severely dented the country’s attempts to modernise its automotive industry and supply the next generation of UK-built electric vehicles.
