UK announces £25m EV battery challenge
Businesses with innovative projects to develop batteries for future electric vehicles (EVs) are being invited to bid for a share of £25 million.
It is part of the £246 million Faraday Battery Challenge, which aims to develop high-performance, lightweight batteries that are cost-effective, durable, safe and recyclable for the next generation of EVs.
There are two opportunities to apply for funding: up to £23 million is available for industrial research and development and up to £2 million for feasibility studies.
