This edition we dedicate to the nascent electric vehicle market and associated supply chain. We have assessed the entire ecosystem in the UK and what technologies are currently available, and would highlight the following three conclusions: 1) The UK has developed a remarkably good ecosystem to enable the development and commercialisation of EV components and technology; 2) The dawn of the fully electric vehicle is going to bring about a radical simplification of the Automotive supply chain; and 3) EV isn’t the only way forward, and we see a clear role for Hydrogen, Biofuels and Synfuels.
