General Motors is planning to establish four new battery factories in the United States, with a total capacity of 140 GWh per year. Additionally, Stellantis, the multinational automotive conglomerate, is in the process of building a new factory in Indiana, with an initial annual production capacity of 23 GWh.
By establishing local gigafactories, automakers, and battery manufacturers can reduce supply chain dependencies, ensure a stable and timely supply of batteries, and potentially benefit from government incentives and regulations that promote domestic battery production.
(Credit: Prologium) On May 30th, 2023, France inaugurated its first gigafactory dedicated to the production of electric car batteries. Located in Douvrin, Northern France, the facility is the brainchild of Automotive CellS Company (ACC), a joint venture formed by industry giants Stellantis, TotalEnergies, and Mercedes.
Batteries are a critical component of electric vehicles, and increasing their production capacity is crucial for automakers to meet the growing demand for EVs.
Tesla’s Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg; the company’s inaugural, and newest manufacturing site in Europe, is a key achievement in Tesla’s global EV battery production expansion. Situated in Grünheide, Germany, approximately 35km southeast of Berlin, this cutting-edge facility is dedicated to producing the Tesla Model Y for the European market.
With an annual capacity of 37 gigawatt-hours, the site has produced 7.3 billion battery cells, 1.5 million packs, and 3.6 million drive units, since early last year. Gigafactory Nevada is one of the world’s highest-volume plants for electric motors, batteries, and powertrains.
