Tata confirms UK battery plant

Autocar UK|July 26, 2023

JLR OWNER TATA has finally confirmed its plans to build a battery factory in the UK, targeting a start of production in just three years from now and an eventual annual manufacturing capacity of 40GWh.

In an investment totalling more than £4 billion, the Indian industry giant will establish local battery production with a view to commencing supply to 'anchor customers' - initially named as JLR and Tata Motors - as soon as 2026.

Tata's planned output is higher than the eventual 38GWh target for Envision's battery factory alongside Nissan's plant in Sunderland. The Faraday Institution, a battery research body, has forecast that the UK needs a total of 100GWh of local capacity by 2030 to satisfy demand for EV production, rising to 200GWh by 2040.

Poster car that went from rusty to trusty

One evening, two years ago, George Pappas was being driven down his local high street by a mate and mulling over whether to replace his Mk4 Golf diesel, a recent purchase that was boring him to death, when his girlfriend, also in the car, spotted an old BMW 3 Series at the side of the road with a 'for sale' sign in the window.
