Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he has made an estimate of how many gigafactories manufacturing batteries for electric vehicles there will be in 2030..

Through the Automotive Transformation Fund, Government is supporting R&D and capital investments across strategically important parts of the electric vehicle supply chain, and the Government has prioritised securing investment in battery cell gigafactories. This is key for anchoring the mass manufacture of electric vehicles in the UK, safeguarding jobs, and driving emissions to net zero by 2050.
