If you look at the Mini or Land Rover factory you find an extermely high level of robotics and automation. It was fascinating watching the Mini engine sump "gasket" being printed on the bottom of the blockThat's a very pertinent point because it always used to be the case that Chinese manufacturing undercut pretty much everything (and certainly the UK) because the labour cost was dirt cheap. In the EV world however, they are building cars in high tech factories using high levels of automation. We could do that if only there was a willingness to invest in the technology and infrastructure.
