The UK government is committed to continuing to invest in UK battery manufacturing. This strategy builds on our impressive track record of targeted government support, leading to a pipeline of investments through the battery ecosystem:
The strategy was developed with the UK Battery Strategy Taskforce, drawing on the Call for Evidence [footnote 78] and engagement with businesses and stakeholders. The strategy sets out the government’s activity to support our objectives and sets a framework for our future work with industry to support the sector.
This strategy represents a whole of government effort, developed with business. The government’s 2030 vision is for the UK to have a globally competitive battery supply chain that supports economic prosperity and the net zero transition.
The UK will be a world leader in sustainable design, manufacture, and use of batteries, underpinned by a thriving battery innovation ecosystem.

The Faraday Institution estimates that meeting domestic demand for batteries for EVs would boost UK employment by approximately 270,000 (full-time equivalent) jobs by 2040. [footnote 207] Of these, 100,000 would come from battery manufacturing plants and the supply chain, 145,000 from EV production, and 25,000 from HGV /bus production.
The Government plans to publish a clear battery strategy enabling a joined-up government-industry approach to delivering a battery ecosystem that unleashes economic prosperity, delivers on our net zero ambitions and ensures our access to technologies and applications that are vital to our security.
