Britishvolt scraps plan for second factory in Canada

Troubled startup battery maker formally abandons long-shot plan to build 60GWh plant in Quebec

Battery startup Britishvolt has formally abandoned a long-shot plan to build a second factory in Canada, as it focuses on securing new funding for its struggling UK project.

Britishvolt's main project is an attempt to build a factory near Blyth in north-east England capable of producing batteries with a capacity of 30 gigawatt hours (30GWh) every year.
