Stellantis and LG Energy Solution on Wednesday announced a Canadian joint-venture battery plant to support future EV production.<\/p>\n

To be located in Windsor, Ontario, the $5 billion Canadian ($4.1 billion United States dollar) battery plant is scheduled to be up and running by the first quarter of 2024, making it the first large-scale EV battery manufacturing facility in Canada.<\/p>\n

The plant will have an annual production capacity of 45 gigawatt-hours. While this is the first major North American battery manufacturing investment by Stellantis, LG Energy Solution is already working with rival General Motors on four joint-venture battery plants<\/a> in the U.S. Stellantis on Wednesday also said it plans to build a battery plant in the U.S.. This plant may be built in partnership with Samsung SDI, which has been working with Stellantis since last fall.<\/p>\n

Stellantis is also working with Mercedes-Benz to produce batteries in Italy through the Automotive Cells Company<\/a> (ACC) company. ACC was formed in 2020 by Stellantis predecessor PSA Group and French oil giant TotalEnergies, and also includes Mercedes as an equal partner.<\/p>\n

While not a collaborative effort, Stellantis and Mercedes have also invested in U.S. solid-state battery startup Factorial Energy<\/a>. Factorial claims it will achieve a 50% range improvement with its battery tech, and similar claims have led other automakers to invest in solid-state battery firms or launch in-house development programs.<\/p>\n

Stellantis is in the midst of a major EV push centered on four modular platforms<\/a>. Among the many new EVs promised so far are an electric Dodge muscle car<\/a>, electric Ram pickup truck<\/a>, and a lineup of electric Jeep SUVs starting with a subcompact due in 2023<\/a> (shown main). The automaker hopes to take most of its brands down the full-electric route by the end of the decade, including Maserati<\/a>, Chrysler, and Alfa Romeo. To do that, Stellantis will need a lot of batteries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
