Octillion Power Systems has launched a new battery production facility in Reno, Nevada. Octillion said this expansion strengthens its ability to serve the North American EV, off-highway, commercial equipment, marine, and grid storage markets.

Nevada One Increases Battery Production Capacity

The 40,000-square-foot facility, known as Nevada One, features battery system manufacturing and proprietary technologies. Octillion said it integrates human labor, robotics, and automation to optimize production efficiency.

“Opening the Nevada One facility is a key step in our North American expansion strategy,” said Paul Beach, Global President. “This new Reno facility will allow us to satisfy certain demand, while also providing a “working model” for clients looking to advance their own co-located factories with Octillion in North America.”

By 2025, Nevada One will reach 1GWh production capacity, Octillion said. This adds to Octillion’s 25GWh annual production across its global facilities.

Local Economy and Job Growth

Octillion plans to employ a team of Reno-based engineers to the facility. The facility will create 40-50 jobs at peak capacity.

“The arrival of Octillion in Western Nevada is a major boon for our state’s electrification industry,” commented Taylor Adams CEO of the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN). “Octillion’s reputation is a clear signal that Nevada is on the right track for leading in automotive energy storage.”
