Octillion Power Systems, a global supplier of advanced high-density lithium-ion battery packs for a range of passenger and commercial fleet electric vehicles (EVs), announced the inauguration of a new battery system manufacturing facility in Reno, Nevada.
The approximately 40,000 square-foot Nevada One facility is anticipated to become a deeper gateway into the North American EV, off-highway, commercial equipment, marine, and grid storage markets.
It will showcase Octillion’s state-of-the-art battery system manufacturing and related proprietary technologies and feature Octillion’s trademark combination of human touch labor, futuristic robotics, and sophisticated automation across its production lines.
By 2025, Nevada One’s production lines will have a forecasted total capacity of 1G Wh, adding to Octillion’s estimated 25 GWh of total annual production across its seven other global manufacturing facilities.
Octillion intends to employ a top-flight team of Reno-based engineers that can provide further sophistication and quality assurance. The Nevada One facility is anticipated to employ approximately 40 to 50 workers at peak capacity, both skilled and non-skilled, contributing to economic growth within Reno and Nevada.
As a testament to the speed of Octillion’s factory scaling capabilities, from lease signing to multi-line production, is anticipated to span a rapid eight-month period for the Reno facility. Similarly, Octillion can lead clients on their respective scaling journeys to fully customized mass-volume battery production in typically a six-to-twelve-month period, depending on a client’s custom requirements and project scale.
