On December 16, 2025, Envision AESC, a global leader in battery technology, announced the start of production at its new battery gigafactory in Sunderland, UK. With an initial planned capacity of 15.8GWh, the facility is capable of supplying high-quality batteries for over 200,000 electric vehicles annually for leading automakers such as Nissan. This gigafactory now stands as the largest battery manufacturing base currently operational in the UK.
Public records show that Envision AESC has been operating in the UK for more than a decade. In 2012, its first battery plant in Sunderland began production, becoming one of the earliest large-scale power battery manufacturing facilities in Europe. The launch of this new plant further solidifies Envision AESC’s leading position in the European market and addresses the rapidly growing demand for electric vehicles in the region.
As one of the earliest and most deeply globalized battery technology enterprises, Envision AESC has established 14 battery production bases across six countries worldwide. In 2025 alone, the company has commenced operations at three overseas facilities: the plant in Douai, France, the energy storage production line in Tennessee, and the new gigafactory in Sunderlan — demonstrating its exceptional global operational capabilities and large-scale delivery capacity.
Driven by technological innovation and customer-centric values, Envision AESC remains committed to providing high-quality, safe, and sustainable power and energy storage battery solutions for global partners, supporting the worldwide transition to a zero-carbon future.
