Statevolt is an independent battery manufacturing company established in 2022 by Lars Carlstrom, who previously founded Italvolt. Based in Southern California, the company is developing one of North America’s largest battery production facilities, with a planned capacity of 54 GWh. Statevolt’s approach centers on a hyperlocal model that prioritizes sustainable material sourcing and energy utilization from local resources, including geothermal power and lithium.
The company aims to strengthen American battery production capabilities while creating sustainable employment opportunities. Their manufacturing strategy emphasizes community involvement and workforce development, ensuring their operations benefit local economies. Statevolt’s commitment extends to implementing efficient production methods that minimize environmental impact through closed-loop processes and material recycling.
Battery Technology
Statevolt specializes in lithium-ion battery cell production using a modular, technology-agnostic manufacturing approach. This flexibility allows the company to adapt to new developments in battery technology while maintaining efficient production scales. Their manufacturing process incorporates sustainable practices and advanced quality control measures to ensure consistent, high-performance battery cells.
Through collaboration with StoreDot, Statevolt is advancing extreme fast-charging (XFC) battery technology, enabling electric vehicle charging in under ten minutes. This innovation addresses common concerns about EV adoption, such as charging time and range limitations. The company is also exploring solid-state and semi-solid state battery development through its UAE operations, focusing on enhanced safety features and extended battery life cycles.
The batteries produced by Statevolt serve multiple applications, including electric vehicles, industrial equipment, and grid storage systems. Their technology supports the integration of renewable energy sources and promotes grid stability, contributing to broader sustainability goals.
Recent Projects
In late 2024, Statevolt initiated construction of its $4 billion Imperial Valley gigafactory on 135 acres near the Salton Sea, California. This facility will create approximately 2,500 jobs and produce enough batteries for 650,000 electric vehicles annually. Additionally, the company announced a $3.2 billion investment in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, to construct a 40 GWh battery cell gigafactory focusing on semi-solid state battery production.
