Britishvolt to work with Lotus on batteries for electric sports cars

Northumberland firm Britishvolt is to work with sports car manufacturer Lotus on an electric vehicle for the luxury car maker.

The battery maker - which last week announced that it had raised the £1.7bn needed to make its battery gigafactory near Blyth a reality - has signed a memorandum of understanding with Lotus to develop its lithium-ion for Lotus vehicles.

The partnership will see the two firms work on a battery cell package that will power the next generation of electric sports cars from Lotus. It comes after Lotus invested £100m into the development of electric sports cars.
