China’s Ganfeng Lithium, the world’s largest lithium producer, started construction of a new solid-state battery production site in Chongqing’s Liangjiang New Area on July 30, the company said.

When complete, the production site will have 10 GWh of battery capacity and 10 GWh of pack capacity when completed, making it the largest in China, it said.

The 630-mu (420,000-square-meter) site, with a total floor area of 570,000 square meters, includes three projects: a solid-state battery technology research institute, a solid-state battery production base and a battery pack system facility. The project aims to become the largest solid-state battery production base in China, with cells, modules, BMS and pack system solutions as its main direction, Ganfeng said.

Ganfeng currently has a battery production base in Xinyu, Jiangxi province, with 2 GWh of solid-state battery capacity and 7 GWh of lithium iron phosphate battery capacity.

The opening of this Chongqing base is expected to enable Ganfeng to provide high-quality, stable battery supply to more downstream companies, it said.
