The new plant in Mesquite—the first in North America for Xiamen, China-based Hithium—is slated to begin mass production in late 2025, with an annual capacity of 10GWh for battery modules and systems. The facility will create "nearly 200 high-quality jobs," Hithium said, and will serve as "a cornerstone of domestic energy storage production."
