Nissan 'in talks to build huge UK battery factory'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57247758

Seems like nothing definite, but I guess there's some talking being done.

Quote:
In a statement, Nissan said: "Having established EV [electric vehicle] and battery production in the UK in 2013 for the Nissan Leaf, our Sunderland plant has played a pioneering role in developing the electric vehicle market.

"As previously announced, we will continue to electrify our line-up as part of our global journey towards carbon neutrality. However, we have no further plans to announce at this time."
Wouldn't having a plant producing these batteries mean possible problems importing the 'materials' in the amount required to do so?
