A councillor has said he is reluctant to put his "heart and soul" behind the latest company to take on the Northumberland gigafactory project after the disappointment of Britishvolt.
On Monday, Australian firm Recharge Industries emerged as the preferred bidder for Britishvolt after the company collapsed into administration last month.
Recharge is now aiming to make plans for the 3,000-job gigafactory a reality, making Cambois in south-east Northumberland a major centre for the manufacture of batteries for electric vehicles.
