Australian firm Recharge Industries has been selected as the preferred bidder for the collapsed British EV battery startup
The company plans to build a £3.8 billion gigafactory near Blyth in Northumberland
The company has allegedly yet not received £100m in promised government support
Until now, customers with larger gas supplies of 16 cubic metres per hour have not been able to switch to smart meters
Work on Britishvolt’s EV battery factory near Blyth in Northumberland has reportedly been limited in a bid to slash spending costs
The new gigaplant in Cambois, Northumberland is to receive £100m
The project is forecast to create 170 new jobs
It has partnered with Prologis for the Hams Hall facility in Warwickshire which is expected to help the company rapidly ramp up battery cells and support the ‘smooth start-up’ of its planned gigafactory in Northumberland
The gigaplant is forecast to produce batteries for around 300,000 EVs a year
The technology will identify areas for planting that avoid damaging any significant archaeological remains
