On April 13th, the global leading smart battery technology company, Envision AESC, announced the construction of a power battery super factory in Kentucky, USA, with a planned production capacity of 30 GWh and the potential to expand to 40 GWh, providing high-quality power battery products for leading global automakers.
It is reported that the factory will produce the latest generation of power battery products, with a 30% increase in energy density, effectively improving the endurance of electric vehicles, and with the capability of ultra-fast charging. The factory will achieve mass production in 2025 and provide power batteries for 300,000 cars annually after full production.
In addition, the super factory will rely on Envision Technology Group’s zero-carbon system solution to achieve 100% renewable energy supply and carbon-neutral operation. At the same time, through zero-carbon smart grid technology, it will promote local green industrial revolution and accelerate Kentucky’s zero-carbon transformation.
Just last month, Mercedes-Benz announced a strategic cooperation with Envision AESC: Envision AESC will provide high-quality, high-safety and zero-carbon power battery products for Mercedes-Benz’s new generation of luxury pure electric SUV star models EQS and EQE, and announced the construction of a power battery factory in the United States. This official announcement clearly specifies that the new factory will be located in Kentucky.
With the planning and construction of the new factory, Envision AESC has already established 10 production bases in China, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, and its zero-carbon battery production capacity will exceed 300 GWh by 2025.
