Proterra to build commercial EV battery factory in South Carolina, its third in US

Proterra, an American commercial electric vehicle company that produces transit buses and electric charging systems, is opening up its third battery factory in Greer, South Carolina. The factory should begin production in the second half of 2022 with "multiple gigawatt hours of annual battery system production capacity," according to the company.

Proterra did not disclose the specific production capacity expected at its South Carolina plant, but its two other plants in Burlingame, California and Los Angeles have a max annual capacity of 345 megawatt hours and 675 megawatt hours, respectively, according to Shane Levy, director of corporate communications.

Globally, the electric commercial vehicle market is estimated to reach $62.4 billion this year. With myriad government and corporate initiatives focused on decreasing emissions, the commercial EV sector is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 17.3% over the next nine years, and automakers are racing to supply that demand. In January this year, General Motors announced its new commercial electric vehicle brand, Brightdrop, and in September, Ford beefed up its commercial EV unit ahead of the Ford E-Transit work van launch, to name a couple.

With this new plant, Proterra has committed to creating more than 200 jobs in South Carolina and investing a minimum of $76 million into the 327,000-square-foot plant, which is located at the 42.76-acre Carolina Commerce Center. The factory, which is located near the company's electric bus manufacturing facility, is Proterra's entry into producing batteries in the eastern U.S., which the company says will bring it closer to its "Proterra Powered" customers. In addition to building its own electric vehicles, Proterra partners with other automakers to integrate its powertrains into their vehicles. Daimler's Saf-T-Liner C2 Jouley school bus from Thomas Built Buses, for example, is powered by Proterra, as are Volta's new refrigerated trucks.

The Greer battery production site comes a year after Proterra opened its second battery factory within its existing EV bus manufacturing facility in Los Angeles. It will also be neighbors to commercial EV competitor Arrival, which recently shared plans to open its own battery module assembly plant in North Carolina. As more automakers begin producing EVs and wanting to control their own supply chain, more domestic battery assembly plants are sure to follow.

EV Roundup: TM's $1.3B Outlay, CHPT's Quarterly Results & More

The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is speeding up with each passing day. Pressing ahead in the transition to EVs, U.S. President Biden signed an executive order last week that calls for the purchase of only zero-emission vehicles for the federal fleet by 2035. In fact, Biden has pledged to make all light-duty government fleets emission-free by 2027.Per the White House Fact Sheet, the government will spend its annual purchasing power of $650 billion to enhance the efficiency of its portfolio of 300,000 buildings and electrify its fleet of around 600,000 cars and trucks.

Meanwhile, Japan’s largest automaker, Toyota TM announced its plans to establish a battery hub in the United States to speed up its electrification game. U.S. auto giant General Motors GM provided a production update on Chevy Silverado electric pickup, while its close peer Ford F scaled up the production target forMustang Mach-E. EV charging company ChargePoint Holdings CHPT posted third-quarter fiscal 2022 results. EV behemoth Tesla TSLA also made headlines with its decision to stop taking Model S/X orders outside North America.

Toyota announced its decision to build the first battery factory in the United States in North Carolina to bring its EV supply chain to the country. The Japan-based automaker plans to invest $1.29 billion in the battery plant, to be named Toyota Battery Manufacturing, North Carolina (TBMNC). The facility is expected to create 1,750 new jobs and use 100% renewable energy to make the batteries. Production is anticipated to commence in 2025.

TBMNC will initially have four production lines, each capable of manufacturing battery packs for around 200,000 cars annually. Toyota eventually aims to add two more lines, with the goal to rev up the total production capacity to battery packs sufficient for 1.2 million vehicles per year.The latest investment decision forms part of TM’s wider commitment to investing $3.4 billion (380 billion yen) for automotive battery development and production in the United States through 2030.

General Motors plans to commence production of its upcoming Chevy Silverado electric pickup in early 2023 with sales set to begin in late 2023. Production will begin at the recently inaugurated Factory Zero in Michigan, previously known as Detroit-Hamtramck.General Motors also confirmed that the Chevy Silverado EV will be followed by several other EVs throughout 2023, including the GMC Sierra E pickup truck.

In a separate development, General Motors entered into a strategic collaboration with MP Materials to develop a fully integrated U.S. supply chain for rare earth magnets.The deal with MP Materials will aid GM in building a sustainable and resilient U.S.-based supply chain for EVs, encompassing the entire ecosystem from raw materials to battery cell manufacturing to electric drive motors and beyond.Accelerating the production of materials used in EVs will help the automaker fortify its U.S. manufacturing foothold of EVs, bring down the cost of EVs and, in turn, speed up their domestic adoption.

ChargePoint reported third-quarter fiscal 2022 adjusted earnings of 14 cents per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company had reported earnings of $2.18 in the year-ago quarter. Revenues of $65 million were up 79% year over year and beat the consensus mark by 2.88%. Subscription and networked charging systems revenues contributed 20.6% and 73.1%, respectively, to the overall revenues.

As of Oct 31, 2021, ChargePoint had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $365.89 million.For fourth-quarter fiscal 2022, the EV charging stalwart expects revenues in the range of $73-$78 million. For fiscal 2022, CHPT expects total revenues in the range of $235-$240 million.

Ford is planning to ramp up production of the all-electric Mustang Mach-E in 2022 to cater to the unprecedented demand for the vehicle. Ford CEO Jim Farley recently took to Twitter to announce that the company aims to achieve an annual output of more than 200,000 units by 2023 in North America and Europe for Mustang Mach-E, its first mainstream electric vehicle (EV). This would imply tripling the current production rate for the vehicle.

Ford further confirmed that it will be able to rev up the Mustang Mach-E production capacity by utilizing the entire Cuautitlan plant in Mexico. In addition to boosting production, F has confirmed a price bump in the United States for the Mustang Mach-E by $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the variant, as part of the shift to the 2022 model year.

Tesla announced its decision to cease taking new orders for its flagship Model S and Model X for markets outside North America. The EV giant sent out emails to customers waiting for their Model S and Model X vehicle orders in Europe, stating that it is not accepting any new orders from customers outside North America for the time being in order to accelerate the delivery of existing orders.

This decision has been triggered in response to Tesla’s massive backlog of orders in Europe and other international markets, where no new Model X and Model S shipments have been made in the past year. Per the email, the EV behemoth plans to deliver the first Model S and Model X in Europe during the second half of next year.

Actually your favorite aphorism is now incorrect.  EVs are now 1% of vehicle stock.

Wrong again, Jay...my favorite aphorism is MINISCULE...and that still applies to the share of vehicle stock. I am not sure if that stock includes second-hand vehicles, it sounds like it does not include  a measure of second-hand, and that adds a huge number of vehicles to the ICE total. 

So I would estimate that a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of 1% is still probably accurate, considering the second-hand numbers as part of the totals.

Sorry to disappoint you, Jay.

Only reason it was 8 percent is the lack of supply not demand. Enjoy the thought

When production of EVs gets into the large numbers, cost of inputs will hit a brick wall and no one will be able to afford an EV, unless they are very well off.

No, Jay, they do not give any calculations for ICE vehicle stock, it could well exclude second hand ICE vehicles. They say that they "assume" a certain percentage of vehicles are still on the road, so that does not sound like a direct measure of rolling stock.

Perhaps you should give us the source so we can see how the calculations were made.

I did give you the source. The number of ICE vehicles in the global fleet is widely agreed to be 1.4 billion. Try a simple google search.

Almost all EV sales have been in the last five years so it is completely correct to assume that almost all are still on the road.

China Is Planning to Build 43 New Coal-Fired Power Plants. Can It Still Keep Its Promises to Cut Emissions?

China is planning to build 43 new coal-fired power plants and 18 new blast furnaces — equivalent to adding about 1.5% to its current annual emissions — according to a new report. The new projects were announced in the first half of this year despite the world’s largest polluter pledging to bring its emissions to a peak before 2030, and to make the country carbon neutral by 2060.
