I wonder about the future of the airport? Access around there might be interesting as well.
I'm really not convinced, batteries are not the nicest of things. I used to run an aircraft battery unit, they're not as clean as many people think.
But, time will tell.
Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
The plans have got a thumbs up form the City Council. Just got to wait for the plans, so they can be waved through: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/ne...loped-19895004
I personally think it's a big mistake.

The government's got involved; this is going to go so well: https://solihullobserver.co.uk/news/...he-site-29315/
The inevitable planning permission has been granted: https://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/...-airport-site/

They are having a laugh. It will never create 6000 jobs and once the 'woke and ESG' brigade actually wake up they'll be having kittens and will stop it. Of course, by then we might have lost a valuable asset, but the idiots won't care.

A battery company up north is on the verge of collapse: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63457813
It doesn't bode well for the industry if it's in trouble at this stage.
The whole dream is crashing down around their ears. We aren't going to be abandoning internal combustion engines anytime soon. Princess nut-nut has a lot to answer for.

With the recent news about the non-starter battery factory up north, the Midlands' version could be noney badly spent. For the rest, I wonder if things like infrastructure, state of the economy etc. have been considered: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news...t-zones-41972/
An interesting development on EV sales. OK, it's the US, but this country is unlikely to be radically different...
