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.
The factory in Vasteras belongs to Northvolt, a Swedish battery-maker set up by a pair of ex-Tesla executives. It is described as an “industrialisation” plant—in effect, a model gigafactory. It is capable of making every part of an EV battery, unlike some others, which buy in components such as electrodes.
Ni Jun didn’t give any details on where the new facilities would be built however CATL currently only has one battery factory in Europe which is in Germany so it would make sense to have the recycling facility nearby. CATL is also building a second battery factory in Hungry which is due to be completed in four years.
France also plans to build another three battery factories in the same northern region of Hauts-de-France, which has been nicknamed "Battery Valley". One will be located near the city of Douai, while two others will be in Dunkirk.
(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.
These include Volvo Cars, BMW and the Volkswagen Group. It then makes the batteries for fleets of prototype vehicles which those producers use for testing. Once the cell designs are fixed, mass production of the batteries is transferred to bigger gigafactories. Northvolt has one of these, too, in northern Sweden.
