Aston Martin - comment
The flirtation of Britishvolt with Administration is a blessing in disguise for Aston Martin as it should help steer the company away from the expense and risk of developing its own electric engine, as opposed to working with Mercedes AMG. In March Aston Martin signed an agreement with Britishvolt to develop high-performance battery cells together. We do not know how much Aston has already spent or if the agreement would survive any Administration, but it will make the potential pitfalls of going it alone clear. We would be surprised and disappointed to find Aston is one of those who have provided the current rescue funding
