German EV company Next.e.Go, maker of the four-seat, sub 3.5-metre Life city car, hopes to build a microfactory in the UK.
Speaking at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a spokesman explained: “Our plan is to set up a factory in Britain. We have the investment and we're looking to expand our reach.”
The firm currently has a production facility in Aachen, Germany, and holds licences to build microfactories in Bulgaria and Greece.
Each has a production target of between 10,000 and 30,000 cars per year.
