UK-based electric vehicle battery startup Britishvolt said on Monday it has reached an agreement with a UK government-backed research facility to develop batteries with high nickel content and more energy-dense materials as it gets ready for mass production.
The company said it has signed a two-year, multi-million pound contract with the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) to develop and assemble its next generation of sample battery cells for mass production and commercialisation.
The startup's 30GWh plant in Blyth should start production in 2023. It will be built in three phases and, when reaching peak production in 2027, it should be capable of producing battery packs for more than 300,000 vehicles annually.
