Ellesmere Port has become the UK’s inaugural manufacturing plant exclusively for electric vehicles, as Stellantis commences production of its all-electric small van

Carmakers have called for a change to origin rules on EV manufacturing

Stellantis says it may have to pull EV production in the UK due to Brexit rules on where parts come from

Foxconn is hoping to have an eventual 45% share of the electric car market

The investment will support Vulcan’s planned production expansion drilling in its Upper Rhine Valley Brine Field, where the company is already producing geothermal energy

Production is expected to begin at the site in 2024

Ellesmore Port will begin solely producing battery-electric vans from 2022 due to a £100m investment from Stellantis
