Seems strange, what with the impending demise of the UK car industry as foretold on here.
Could it be a big incentive for Nissan to build its next gen of electric vehicles here?

Makes senseThat's what I was wondering, if it was part of the plan to keep them here by bringing a lot of the supply chain closer. I know there has been a lot of work behind the scenes around this
They already have a battery plant at Nissan though? The liquid lithium solution comes from billingham.That's what I was wondering, if it was part of the plan to keep them here by bringing a lot of the supply chain closer. I know there has been a lot of work behind the scenes around this
The headline is a bit of a giveaway for its intended use. 8,000 jobs to be created as £2.6bn electric car battery 'gigaplant' heads to BlythMore than cars use batteries. I fully expect batteries at home to become more of a thing, like the Tesla powerwall. The idea being you generate power from solar panels during the day when your out at work, store it, then use it on a night when your home but the sun has gone down.

The Britishvolt electric battery plant plan marks the biggest North East investment since Nissan's arrival in the 1980swww.chroniclelive.co.uk
Correct,cannot be solely for cars.headlines are there to grab attention. The plant is there to build batteries, they will end up used for various things.
I stand to be corrected but I don't think the battery plant up there is wholly owned by nissan, it's someone else.Once we go full electric, they'll need a lot more capacity? Currently electric cars are only a very small portion of new sales.
I've no idea how batteries Nissan make themselves & how much capacity they have to increase that when the demand will increase mind
Great news, but less of the positivity, have you forgotten where you are?
Hope it comes off
I remember Samsung at wynyard and Siemens at cobalt opening to similar fanfare

A bigger site maybe?Why build it there rather than the AMP if all the output was designated for Nissan? Good news for the region but we might need another Tyne Tunnel.
