"Jaguar Land Rover-owner Tata has confirmed plans to build its flagship electric car battery factory in the UK.
The new plant in Somerset is expected to create 4,000 UK jobs and thousands more in the wider supply chain.
Tata said it will invest £4bn in the site but it is understood that the government is providing subsidies worth hundreds of millions of pounds.
The plant is described as the most important investment in UK automotive since Nissan arrived in the 1980s.
The new gigafactory will be one of the largest in Europe and will make batteries for Jaguar Land Rover vehicles like Range Rover, the Defender and the Jaguar brands.
The plan is to supply other car manufacturers as well, with production at the new factory is due to start in 2026"
