“Benchmark expects any UK Gigafactory to be... designed for an initial 30GWh capacity with ability to scale to 70GWh. On this basis... would need 3 or 4 of these super sized battery cell plants in the next 7 yrs”

“The UK would also need to attract tier one battery producers that have a track record of producing at scale and quality. Benchmark’s tier one battery cell producers are presently assessed as: LG Chem, Panasonic, Tesla, CATL, SK Innovation and Envision AESC.”
“Lithium ion batteries were described in Benchmark’s Senate speech as a “core platform technology” for the next 100 years allowing the basis for three valuable industries to thrive: electric vehicles, energy storage and consumer electronics.”
Still rumours of course, but it’s entirely feasible for Tesla to build a #UKGigafactory
As our domestic auto industry implodes, Tesla could easily take 500k vehicle sales in short space of time here, even if the sales pool ‘evapourates’ to 1.5m
250k would justify a Gigafactory

In essence, it’s our belief wherever a lot of EVs are being built, then that’s where you should build your battery cells.
❌Shipping lithium ion battery cells is becoming a nightmare.
❌Shipping whole cars exposes to tariffs.

Needless to say, Tesla would get a lot of government support as well here in 🇬🇧
Something they have needed to springboard Gigafactories in Sparks, NV, Shanghai, Berlin and Austin, TX

UK #Gigafactory / Battery Megafactory:
Last year we presented to @POST_UK & House of Lords reps about the need to build a lithium ion economy in the UK.
Below were the initial lithium ion battery capacity requirements =
⭕️1 Gigafactory by 2030
⭕️ 3 Gigafactories by 2035.

We will be speaking with Chief Economist of @FaradayInst, Stephen Gifford at #EVfest about this potential next week!
