The battery startup Britishvolt eyed a big opportunity.With the looming UK ban on sales of internal combustion engine cars after 2035, big demand for batteries was guaranteed.The problem was actually building the batteries.The company's efforts have now come to nothing.It collapsed into administration on Tuesday after funding talks failed, leaving a string of disappointed backers ranging from the FTSE 100 companies Glencore and Ashtead to the property investor Tritax, owned by investment group abrdn, which had committed to fund a battery gigafactory in Northumberland.
