New 1GWh Facility to Strengthen Supply Chain for Automotive and Industrial Energy Storage Applications

Octillion Energy, a China-based battery pack manufacturer, has opened a new battery system facility in Reno, Nevada, through its U.S. subsidiary, Octillion Power Systems. This move marks a strategic expansion into the North American market, aiming to meet the rising demand for lithium-ion battery systems across multiple sectors.

The Reno plant is expected to reach a production capacity of 1 gigawatt-hour (GWh) per year by 2025. The facility will produce high-density lithium-ion battery systems tailored for electric vehicles (EVs), off-highway equipment, marine applications, commercial machinery, and grid energy storage systems. This investment signals Octillion’s intent to localize supply chains amid growing demand and policy support for domestic battery production.

Global Capacity Expands with U.S. Investment

With the addition of the Nevada facility, Octillion Energy’s total global production capacity now stands at 25 GWh annually. The company is already a major supplier of battery packs to leading automakers including Wuling Motors in China and Tata Motors in India. Expanding into the U.S. aligns with Octillion’s strategy to serve global automotive and industrial clients more efficiently.

By establishing operations in Nevada, Octillion positions itself closer to key EV manufacturers and energy storage integrators. This will reduce shipping times, optimize logistics, and ensure better compliance with emerging North American battery sourcing regulations.
