For those interested; GM has started work on their Woodhaven, Michigan Voltec battery plant. It'll be put into an existing, but nearly new, facility of 160,000 sq/ft. This facility is about 20 miles from us.
Battery specs:
- 400 pounds, 5 feet long (next generation for 2012 will be significantly smaller and lighter)
- 16 kwh, 360 Volts, over 220 cells
- 400 amp peak level
- Cells provided by LG Chem
The plant consist of three areas:
- The Battery Module Pre-assembly
- The Battery Module Final Assembly
- The Pack Main Line
The goal is to process 70,000 cells per day or one every 2.7 seconds.
This would result in a production rate of over 100,000 batteries per year if work ran 365 days/year.
