REUTERS/Simon Dawson/File Photo LONDON (Reuters) - Electric vehicle battery startup Britishvolt is considering going public, possibly through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), it said on Thursday, as it continues fundraising for a 2.6 billion pound ($3.59 billion) plant in England. The startup has appointed Guggenheim Capital LLC and Barclays Plc to explore merger options, including a SPAC. A wave of electric vehicle-related startups around the world have gone public over the past year, typically involving a reverse merger with a SPAC. The top performer among them last year was battery startup QuantumScape Corp.
