Honda and LG Energy Solution have announced a joint venture agreement for the production of lithium-ion batteries in the United States, destined for Honda and Acura vehicles to be sold in the North American market. Through this agreement, Honda and LG will invest US$4.4 billion for the upcoming battery plant in the US, which will have an annual production capacity of 40 gWh.

The batteries to be produced at the joint venture plant in the United States will be pouch-type batteries which will be supplied exclusively to Honda plants in North America, and construction of the plant is scheduled to begin early next year to enable the start of mass production of the advanced lithium-ion battery cells by the end of 2025, said Honda.
