Recently, according to foreign media reports, Japan's Nissan has announced that it will invest 1 billion pounds (9 billion yuan) in building a super car battery factory in the UK in cooperation with China Vision Power, a Chinese battery supplier. To support its transition to an all-electric product line and the development of new electric models.

It is reported that the super factory will be built in Sunderland in northern England, adjacent to Nissan's largest factory in Europe. The new battery plant will use renewable energy to power up to 100000 electric vehicles a year.

British Prime Minister Johnson welcomed the plan in a statement and said: "Nissan announced the construction of a new generation of all-electric vehicles in Sunderland and a new superfactory of Vision Dynamics." it is an important vote of confidence in the UK and our highly skilled workers in the northeast.

On June 28th, Vision Power and Renault reached a strategic partnership, and Renault offered five-year 40GWh to 120GWh power battery orders to Vision. In order to ensure the timely and stable supply of batteries, Vision Power will build a super factory with an annual capacity of 24GWh in Duai, the location of Renault's "power city" (ElectriCity).

The battery factory in France is expected to invest 2 billion pounds (18 billion yuan).
