Chinese battery maker Gotion High-Tech has chosen Illinois as the site for its new state-of-the-art $2 billion electric vehicle (EV) lithium battery manufacturing plant, the state’s governor said on Sept. 8.
The factory will be built on a sprawling 150-acre site in Manteno, Illinois, and is expected to begin production next year. It'll focus on lithium-ion battery cells, battery packs, and energy storage systems integration.
