The leaders of the West Midlands Gigafactory (WMG) project have called for further government investment in UK battery manufacturing, following Tata’s announcement that it will spend £4 billion to open a factory in Somerset as soon as 2026.
The start-up said in a statement that the government’s commitment to UK automotive (through the Tata plant) made it “clear the UK government recognises the urgency of supporting the UK’s mobility and energy storage sectors”.
