Ultium Cells’ battery factory in Ohio will once again churn out pouch cells for GM EVs.
The joint venture between General Motors and LG Energy Solution halted production in January.
The Ohio plant is Ultium Cells’ first manufacturing facility, with an annual production capacity of over 45 gigawatt-hours.
Ultium Cells, the joint venture between General Motors and LG Energy Solution, will restart production of battery cells at its facility in Warren, Ohio, after a seven-month hiatus caused by a drop in consumer demand for electric vehicles.
The assembly lines will restart next week, according to Tom Gallagher, vice president of operations for Ultium, quoted by Reuters. After the assembly lines start moving again, the facility will have 1,400 employees.
