Envision AESC investments in battery manufacturing plants

Envision AESC recently invested in a 30 GWh battery plant in South Carolina specifically intended to build cylindrical li-ion battery cells for BMW’s Plant Spartanburg. Notably, these are reported to be the sixth-generation battery cells of BMW with an average diameter of 46 mm.

CEO Shoichi Matsumoto said in a statement: “We are delighted to partner with BMW Group as part of the next stage of growth of our US business. Our new [South Carolina] plant will harness [the latest] technology to create denser, lighter, and more powerful batteries that travel further without the need to charge.

Envision AESC states that the company is now striving to choose a suitable location adjacent to the BMW Group’s vehicle and battery production facilities.

The current priority of the company is the new South Carolina factory. It will be followed by the Kentucky factory, which was announced in April 2022. Although there is a potential for 40 GWh/year, the factory in Kentucky is also expected to produce 30 GWh annually.

Today we announced the second largest economic development announcement in Kentucky's history. We're thrilled Envision AESC – the world's leading EV battery technology company – has picked us, creating 2,000 jobs and cementing our role as a leader in the automotive industry. pic.twitter.com/Q3WJm7hMi5

Additionally, Envision AESC maintains a minor factory at the Nissan production site in Smyrna, Tennessee. It is reported to produce only 3.0 GWh annually.

Global expansion

The following new plants are part of Envision AESC’s rapid expansion of its production capacities:

  • Japan (up to 18 GWh/year)

Overall, these projects show that the AESC (formerly owned by Nissan’s JV) is growing significantly under the Chinese Envision Group.
