Amte Power and Britishvolt sign MoU for UK’s landmark battery gigafactories

UK battery maker Amte Power and Britishvolt announce plans on 20 May to build the UK’s first lithium-ion battery cell gigafactories servicing the automotive and energy storage markets.

The British start-ups have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) focussed on enabling the scalable production of lithium-ion batteries to support the UK’s Road to Zero (at least half 50% of new car sales to be ultra low emission by 2030) targets and transition to electrification.

Britishvolt aims to add to Amte’s 1GWh manufacturing plant plants with a 30GWh factory.
