Britishvolt has signed a two-year, multi-million-pound agreement with the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) to develop next-generation battery cell technologies.
The partnership with the UKBIC will see the scaling up, assembly and manufacture of Britishvolt’s new sample cells for mass production and commercialisation.
Britishvolt says it is developing batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) that are more energy-dense and have high nickel content for increased battery performance with a more extended range.
The company notes that it has also successfully developed its first Production Intent next generation Li-ion cells, which are surpassing expectations, using UK developed intellectual property.
