Jaguar Land Rover to ramp up EV production with £15bn investment

JLR says first UK-made electric car will be £100,000 Jaguar four-door ‘grand tourer’ built in Solihull

Jaguar Land Rover has said it will invest £15bn over five years as Britain’s largest carmaking employer upgrades its factories to produce electric vehicles, including its first car with a UK-made battery.

The company will shift production at its plant at Halewood, Merseyside, to electric cars, and its factory making internal combustion engines in Wolverhampton, in the West Midlands, will focus on producing electric propulsion technologies.
