Britain’s Battery Bet Faces a 55 GWh Supply Chain Shortfall
Britain’s plans to build a domestic electric vehicle battery industry face a major obstacle: an estimated 55 GWh shortfall in battery manufacturing supply chain capacity. The gap raises questions about whether UK gigafactory ambitions can meet demand from carmakers ahead of tightening electric vehicle production rules, and analysts warn that without investment in cells, components and materials, manufacturers may look elsewhere in Europe.
Why now: New analysis highlighting a large gap between UK battery demand and domestic supply chain capacity has drawn attention amid concern over the future of Britain’s EV industry.
