Name of the Project
BlueOval Battery Park Michigan.
Location
Marshall, in Michigan, in the US.
Project Owner/s
Ford Motor Company.
Project Description
Ford plans to build the US’s first automaker-backed lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery plant, offering customers a second battery technology within Ford’s electric vehicle (EV) line-up.
The plant will initially add about 35 GWh/y of new battery capacity in the US, capable of powering an estimated 400 000 future Ford EVs. LFP batteries are very durable and tolerate more frequent and faster charging while using fewer high-demand, high-cost materials.
This lower-cost battery, at scale, will help Ford contain or even further reduce EV prices for customers. Ford is aiming to deliver a run rate of 600 000 EVs a year worldwide by the end of 2023 and two-million by the end of 2026 as part of its Ford+ plan.
Potential Job Creation
The plant will initially employ 2 500 people.
Capital Expenditure
$3.5-billion.
Planned Start/End Date
The production of LFP is scheduled to begin in 2026.
