McLaren Automotive’s CEO, Michael Leiters, has highlighted a pressing opportunity for the UK to establish itself as a pioneer in the electric supercar market through strategic investments in the domestic supply chain.
In a recent statement, Leiters emphasised the necessity for the upcoming UK Government to formulate and implement a comprehensive strategy aimed at enhancing the nation’s capabilities in future powertrain technologies.
This is in stark contrast to when we spoke with McLaren back in 2019 and they were distinctly unsure about whether they would have a role in the road-going EV market at all. For WhichEV, this change of momentum is welcome news indeed. Outside of battery tech, McLaren has certainly been working on other EV-related technologies – and new EV-assisted vehicles are being delivered.
