Now lets get into the news,
The Arizona plant will be LGES’s first-ever U.S. factory to make cylindrical electric vehicle cells, which are typically used by automakers like Tesla and Lucid, which has an automotive production facility in Arizona. LGES is expected to break ground on the plant in Q2 2022, with mass production expected to begin in 2024 at a capacity of 11 gigawatt-hours, LGES said in a statement.
“With the establishment of our new Arizona plant, LG Energy Solution aims to deliver unparalleled consumer value in the rapidly growing cylindrical battery market,” Youngsoo Kwon, CEO of LG Energy Solution, said. “LGES will provide the most dependable, competitive and advanced products to rise as the best business partner that our clients value and trust.”
Tesla and Lucid could be among the potential customers to benefit from the plant. Additionally, Proterra and Philip Morris, a manufacturer of heated-tobacco sticks, could be other non-automotive companies receiving cells from the plant, Reuters said. These companies have not confirmed any link to the plant, however.
