Ministers have invested £100million in a pioneering electric car battery factory that will turbocharge Britain's push to go green. Britishvolt's £3.8billion plant in Blyth, Northumberland, will create 8,000 jobs in the North East in a boost for Government pledges to 'level up' the regions and kick off an industrial revolution. The site will be one of the biggest 'gigafactories' in Europe, and will make enough cells annually for more than 300,000 electric vehicle battery packs.The project promises to revitalise the country's struggling car industry as companies rush to design and build electric vehicles ahead of a 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel motors.
