“We’re very proud of our factory,” says Patrick Gervais, vice president of truck and commercial development for Lion Electric, as he walks the production floor with Electric Autonomy. “We’re one of the few fully operating battery manufacturing facilities [in Canada], and…we have far more capacity than our current needs.”
That VW is looking to manufacture cells in North America is no surprise. The carmaker’s battery subsidy PowerCo has been location scouting in Canada since late 2022. And the battery plant “is part of a larger plan” between the manufacturer and the Canadian government”, VW writes in its press release.
The 175,000-square-foot facility, nestled in the YMX International Aerocity of Mirabel, echoes with the sharp screeches of automated machinery. Lion’s battery pack assembly factory is more than a place where batteries are made.
In October, the EV battery plant announced it had begun module production at the southwestern Ontario factory — labelling it as a "pivotal landmark" for its operations. Modules are groups of battery cells. The cells themselves are currently being shipped in from Poland but by next summer they're expected to also be produced in-house in Windsor.
Volkswagen is building its first battery cell factory outside of Europe. The German company has found a location in Ontario, Canada, where production should start in 2027. That VW is looking to manufacture cells in North America is no surprise. The carmaker’s battery subsidy PowerCo has been location scouting in Canada since late 2022.
NextStar Energy is also building a cell manufacturing facility adjacent to the battery module assembly plant, which is due for completion in 2025. Until then cells are being delivered from LG Energy’s facility in Wrocław, Poland. NextStar has so far hired 450 of the projected 2,500 local jobs available for full production.
