通用汽车继续增加其美国供应链以制造电动汽车,这是第三台电池工厂,其合资伙伴LG Energy Solution是一家生产锂离子电池的韩国公司。

Lansing, Mich., hopes to be selected as the site for the new $2.5-billion project, with the city council on Dec. 13 unanimously approving two resolutions to lure the plant to a site near the city. Lansing is competing against other potential sites nationwide and GM has not chosen a site.

一项决议与兰辛以西的附近城镇扩展了一项税收分担协议。另一个将批准通用汽车对该项目的“文艺复兴区”的申请,该项目需要国家批准。同时,州立法者希望说服底特律汽车制造商通过一项新的经济发展计划在密歇根州建造该工厂。

Lancing经济区合作伙伴关系首席战略官维多利亚·梅多斯(Victoria Meadows)告诉ENR,通用汽车已表示将在“几周的问题”中做出决定,尽管她表示代表公司推新利18备用测要为时过早。

GM-LG合资企业即将完成位于俄亥俄州洛德斯敦的另一家工厂,该工厂将通过各种制造工艺批量生产电池电池,并使用先进的电池技术。通用汽车说,将于明年开放,将开发280万平方英尺的建筑群以生产规模经济以降低电池价格。该公司表示,它将足够灵活地适应技术和材料的进步。

该合资企业的第二台电池工厂开始建设,这是一个耗资23亿美元的田纳西州斯普林山的项目,不久后宣布。它将在2023年完成。

该公司还在12月宣布了另外两个合资链链项目。新利18备用网址

GM announced on Dec. 10 a joint venture with German manufacturer Vacuumschmelze to build permanent magnets for electric vehicle motors. Production is set to begin in 2024 but a plant location has not been determined.

通用汽车还正在与Posco Chemical开发合资企业,以在不确定的位置建造工厂以处理阴极活动材料,这是汽车制造商所说的关键电池材料,约占电池电池成本的40%。新工厂将在Lordstown和Spring Hill提供通用汽车和LG电池工厂。

The projects are part of GM’s plan to invest $35 billion by 2025 in its electric vehicle and autonomous vehicle business, the company said in June. “We are building a sustainable and resilient North America-focused supply chain for EV’s covering the entire ecosystem from raw materials to battery cell manufacturing and recycling,” said Doug Parks, GM executive vice president for global supply chain development.

The automaker did not respond to ENR’s questions about firms selected to design and build the new plants.
