The factories that produce EV batteries are known as gigafactories (a term reportedly coined by Tesla co-founder Elon Musk in 2013). Right now, there's only one such factory in Britain – a site in Sunderland, run by Chinese firm AESC since 2012. That gigafactory supplies the local Nissan plant and has an annual output of 1.8GWh.

They include wet grinding active materials and precursors plus a continuous twin-screw electrode slurry mixer, designed to reduce costs in large-scale production.
Right now, there's only one such factory in Britain – a site in Sunderland, run by Chinese firm AESC since 2012. That gigafactory supplies the local Nissan plant and has an annual output of 1.8GWh. That's enough to provide batteries for, at a very rough estimate, 30,000 EVs.
Of course, battery materials are just one part of the EV revolution and the LME is home to many of the metals and materials which underpin it. Almost every industrial metal you can think of is used by the EV industry in some way, from aluminium through to zinc.
Some key battery metals such as nickel, cobalt, molybdenum and lead are already well established on the LME. We've introduced new futures contracts to provide further hedging and trading opportunities for battery materials.
