Electrovaya Inc., a lithium-ion battery technology and manufacturing company, announced that it’s completing preparations to start the first phase of battery system manufacturing operations in April 2025 — earlier than initially planned.
The battery system assembly in Jamestown is the first part of Electrovaya’s overall plan to invest in American manufacturing, which includes lithium-ion cells and battery systems, with overall investments estimated to exceed $70 million over this first phase in the company’s 52-acre campus with an existing 137,000 square feet industrial building.
Electrovaya has an increasing demand for its products from a wide range of heavy-duty and electrified applications, and it has been a priority of the company to expand its manufacturing operations in the United States for these vital products.
Initial investments into assembly and testing equipment have been made, and the Jamestown team is growing with new hires.
With a growing demand for lithium-ion technology in electric vehicles and other electrified applications, this marks a key step in expanding US production.
