Battery Manufacturers and Auto OEMs Have Announced New Gigafactories to Support North American EV and ESS Growth
North American Battery Initiatives
Key Observations
-
Over 800 GWh across 55 manufacturing plants planned planned in North America
-
Announcements for new plants with clusters in the Midwest, Southeast and Ontario
-
The US Inflation Reduction Act will likely lead to more announcements.
-
Current capacity ~50 GWh
-
KORE announced on 29 July 2021 the intention to build KOREPlex, a one million square foot manufacturing that will support up to 12 GWh of battery cell production in Buckeye, AZ
-
NOVONIX will be the exclusive supplier of graphite anode material to KOREPlex which when in full production will be close to 12,000 tonnes per year of material

U.S. Legislation is Providing Direct Support to NOVONIX’s Business Plan
- Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") includes an estimated $369 billion in investments related to "climate change and energy security“, including tax and other incentives to promote US production of electric vehicles ("EVs"), renewable energy technologies, and critical minerals, representing the "single biggest climate investment in U.S. history” , according to Senator Chuck Schumer.
IRA Tax Credits & Consumer Credit
-
The IRA includes several provisions aimed at bolstering domestic and regional production of critical minerals. These include:
-
$7,500 federal consumer tax credit, starting in 2023 based on the origin of materials and localization of manufacturing
-
New "advanced manufacturing" and production tax credits
-
$500 million appropriation for "enhanced" use of the Defense Production Act economic support under banner of national security
-
$40 billion authorized for loan guarantees under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005
-
From the Trade Act of 1974, if taken off suspension, would see tariffs imposed on foreign imports of graphite to help remove unfair market distortions imposed by China’s anticompetitive behaviors and size advantage in the battery materials sector.
Section 301
Tariffs
-
Includes a 25% tariff on artificial graphite imported from China . A waiver was applied to this material which is due to expire at the end of this year.
-
A determination by the administration is anticipated after the mid-term election next month.
DOE Loans
- DOE Loan Program Office (LPO) has $15.1 billion in loan authority to support the manufacture of eligible light-duty vehicles and qualifying components under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program (ATVM), authorized by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, providing debt capital at U.S. Treasury rates.

NOVONIX Selected as Recipient of US$150 million in DOE Grant Funding
Department of Energy Grant Funding
-
A total of $7 billion in grant funding under President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) has been appropriated to strengthen the North American battery supply chain amidst surging demand and growing calls to onshore these critical industries
-
On October 19, 2022, $2.8 billion was provided by DOE’s Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) in collaboration with the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), authorized by last year’s BIL to boost domestic battery manufacturing and supply chains
-
US$150 million of grant funding was awarded to NOVONIX by the Department of Energy (DOE) to expand NAM’s domestic production of high-performance, synthetic graphite anode materials – one of 21 winners across 12 categories
-
Specifically, the grant funds will be dedicated to the Company’s construction of a new U.S. manufacturing facility, including site selection, plant layout, and engineering design to allow for additional expansion after installation of an initial 30,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of production equipment
==> picture [454 x 246] intentionally omitted <==
Wednesday, October 19, 2022, DOE announced that NOVONIX was selected to enter negotiations to receive US$150 Million in grant funding to support a 30,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) synthetic graphite U.S. manufacturing facility
