£200m battery centre planned for West Mids

Battery storage technology firm Britishvolt is set to build a £200m, cutting-edge battery technology centre in the West midlands. 

The facility is expected to lead the development of new battery cell formats and chemistries to create higher performance, production-ready, batteries of the future while helping lower cell costs for more affordable electric cars.

The West Midlands site is becoming known as the “Battery Corridor” being home to the Warwick Manufacturing Group, Advanced Propulsion Centre and UK Battery Industrialisation Centre.

Paul Franklin, Property Director, Britishvolt said in Construction Enquirer: “This is another important milestone for Britishvolt, UK plc and its world class automotive industry.

“The UK’s battery ecosystem is a global leader in integrated technology development and industrialisation with the Warwick Manufacturing Group, Faraday Institution, UK Battery Industrialisation Centre and the Advanced Propulsion Centre.”
