Lithium-ion cells from the new $5.2-billion battery plant in Windsor will begin finding their way into Stellantis’ North American electric vehicles in late 2024 or early 2025. Inside the massive plant — covering about 100 acres (40 hectares) — the manufacturing process will be broken down into three main steps: electrode production, assembly and formation.
The approach is not drastically different from those used by other battery makers, said Denise Gray, LG Energy Solution’s (LGES) head of external affairs and government relations for North America.
