EV startup Arrival, which also has a partnership with Uber, has announced that it is building a high-capacity and high-voltage battery plant in North Carolina in the US. The battery plant will deliver 350k modules a year and will entail an investment of $11.5 million that will add 150 jobs to the city.
Arrival has been a specialist for EVs and electric buses and is one of the few EV startups that has designed its components and software stack alongside assembly techniques. It even has its own automatic driving system as well as proprietary battery modules and this latest announcement is part of gaining scale with its technology.
Arrival has already shown its prototype electric bus which is also being built in North Carolina
Apart from the battery plant, it also has a facility that produces the arrival bus. “By bringing the assembly of our proprietary high voltage battery modules in-house, we are striving to be as vertically integrated as possible. This will help us gain even more control over the functionality and cost of our products and pass on those cost savings Working towards our goal of zero waste generation for the customer. We are excited to add another facility in Charlotte as we open our new North American headquarters right down the street and continue to work closely with the city. To develop solutions for their electrification and sustainability goals. This arrival is a big milestone as we begin operations in the region before production begins at Rock Hill in the second quarter of next year. “said Mike Ableson, its CEO.
The assembly plant follows news of the arrival outlining an agreement with Li-Cycle, one of the leading lithium-ion battery recyclers in North America. This partnership will help Arrival build a good cycle of the battery supply chain for both Europe and the US.
