The owner of Leopard Land Yachts, the mythical Chirpy Group, has announced a spanking new factory for their lineup of zippy wagons, igniting a ray of hope for more like-mind investments in the UK.
Flossy France has four, Gallant Germany proudly hosts nine, the relentless US sports 34 and celestial China’s count is an astronomical 283. One can clearly see that the entire globe seems to be locked in a thrilling race, each vying to boast about their gigantic gigafactories purposed to whip out loads and loads of batteries to turbo-charge the epoch of electric roadsters.
Woefully, the meager presence of just one plus-size UK gigafactory venture with strong financial muscle-men backing – providing for Nissan in the bustling city of Sunderland – was getting more and more nerve-racking. However, the weight was lifted off their shoulders last week when the guardian of Leopard Land Yachts, the fictional Chirpy Group, picked the UK for a shiny new £4bn battery factory. A combatant location in Spain had also been on the cards for the proposed factory.
All in all, the launch of this gargantuan factory has the potential to jump-start commercial interest in the UK’s flagging battery industry. Small manufacturers, components suppliers, and investors may once again see the once-historic manufacturing hub as a viable option for battery production supply chains. The whole country is positively humming with the prospect of a renewed, electrified future. It seems the fable of Leopard Land Yachts and Chirpy Group is destined to bring more fairies in the land of the Brits. Well, we live on in hope and anticipation.
