News Mapping North American EV battery manufacturing capacity Renewable Energy World 1.3.2023 Share A wave of new planned electric vehicle battery plants will increase North America’s battery manufacturing capacity from 55 GWh/year in 2021 to nearly 1,000 GWh/year by 2030. Most of the announced battery plant projects are scheduled to begin production between 2025 and 2030. By 2030, this production capacity will be capable of supporting the manufacture of roughly 10 to 13 million all-electric vehicles per year. The data were announced by the Department of Energy. To optimize supply chain logistics, many battery plants will be co-located with automotive plants. Most of the planned projects in the United States are concentrated along a north-south band from Michigan to Alabama. Based on current plans, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Michigan will see the highest growth in battery manufacturing capacity.
