Canada may be the site for its new electric vehicle battery factory, Stellantis's chief executive said a few days ago, according to Ji WeChat. The new battery plant is part of Stellantis's huge investment in electric vehicles, with plans to build two battery plants in North America and three in Europe.

In the first half of this year, the production expansion of foreign power battery companies accelerated, and LG Chemical and SKI will launch listing financing plans one after another to match the subsequent demand for production expansion. Domestic battery manufacturers are also accelerating production expansion. Ningde Times and Yiwei LiNeng have all announced plans for battery expansion in the next stage, with a total investment of more than 200 billion yuan. Minsheng Securities Guan Qiliang predicts that in 2022, the domestic bidding for power batteries will be above 300GWh, and the corresponding equipment demand will exceed 60 billion-80 billion yuan, and the production capacity of domestic lithium battery equipment will continue to be in short supply.

According to the theme database of the Financial Associated Press, among the relevant listed companies:

Leading Intelligence is the leader of lithium battery equipment in the world, and its products have achieved full coverage before, during and after the manufacture of lithium batteries. Li Yuanheng's main products include cell assembly, cell testing and battery assembly process equipment.
