Jaguar Land Rover to build electric car battery plant in UK

The Indian owner of Jaguar Land Rover has announced plans to build an electric vehicle battery plant in the UK.

Tata will build one of Europe’s largest battery cell manufacturing sites and aim to have it up and running in 2026.

The site of the £4 billion factory is widely reported to be in Bridgwater, Somerset.

The government says the new plant will create around 4,000 jobs.

The government also says they stepped in with subsidies to entice Tata to build the plant in Britain rather than elsewhere in Europe, although they have not disclosed just how much.

Conservative Party chairman Richard Holden downplayed Labour’s key election campaign as being “Keir Starmer’s sixteenth relaunch in a few months.” Responding to Sir Keir Starmer’s speech, in which the Labour leader unveiled a pledge card with six “first steps” his party would take if it were to win power, Holden described Starmer as a “serial promise-breaker who doesn’t have the courage or conviction to stick to a single pledge he has ever made.” Report by Covellm.
