Jaguar Land Rover, the iconic British automotive manufacturer, has unveiled its plans for a state-of-the-art Gigafactory in the heart of the UK, manufacturing EV batteries, and we couldn't be more thrilled to see this groundbreaking news becoming a reality.
With the rapid growth of electric vehicles taking the automotive world by storm, the opening of the Jaguar Land Rover Gigafactory marks a momentous milestone for the industry and, more importantly, for sustainable transportation.
The Gigafactory's establishment is not only an accomplishment for Jaguar Land Rover but also a win for the UK's economy. The project has already created thousands of jobs in the region, further strengthening local communities and bolstering the country's manufacturing sector. With China seeing success with their battery swapping service offered on a subscription giving more people access to EVs and a more affordable option for purchasing a car, hopefully, we will begin to see a similar adoption in the UK.
EV Charging - how it works
The EV cable connects to a charge point and vehicle, which connects a circuit, which allows for a charge to flow. Once connected, the current will flow from a charge point to the vehicle and the battery system to charge up the drivetrain batteries.
Brands like Tesla have become household names as we start to move to electric vehicles, but with the governments moving to electric, sales will account for over half the global vehicles, by 2040.
According to 2022 Government data, there are currently 1.8 million electric vehicles in Britain and the number is rising.
