On October 27, 2025, Envision AESC, a leading global intelligent battery technology company, held a grand groundbreaking ceremony for its energy storage super factory in Yichang, Hubei. This marks the official entry into the construction phase of a giant energy storage industry project with a total investment of 24.2 billion yuan and a planned annual production capacity of 40GWh. It not only injects strong momentum into the development of green and low-carbon industries in Yichang, but also further consolidates China's leading position in the global energy storage field.

Targeting billions of output value, building a super factory across the entire industry chain

It is reported that the Envision AESC Yichang Intelligent Lithium Battery Production Base, which started construction this time, is located in Yichang Industrial Park. The project covers an area of 504 acres and is a major layout in the field of new energy in Yichang City and even Hubei Province in recent years. The factory will comprehensively cover the core technologies of the entire industry chain from electrodes, cells to battery packs, and is committed to producing the latest generation of 700+Ah ultra large capacity energy storage cell products to meet the growing demand for high-performance and high safety energy storage systems in the global market. The project is expected to be completed and put into operation in 2026. After reaching full production capacity, the annual output value is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan, making it an important energy storage industry base and export center in Central China.

Leading the industry with innovation and continuously defining the next generation of energy storage products

As a global leader in energy storage technology, Envision AESC is one of the earliest companies in the industry to achieve mass production of 300+Ah and 500+Ah high-capacity energy storage cells. Its product and technology roadmap have always been regarded as industry benchmarks. This layout of 700+Ah products once again demonstrates its strong independent research and development capabilities and forward-looking strategic vision. According to the latest statistics from authoritative institutions, in the fiercely competitive global market, Far East Power has successfully ranked among the top three in terms of overseas energy storage cell shipments in 2024, demonstrating strong international competitiveness with its excellent product performance and reliable delivery capabilities.

Deepening globalization layout, empowering green energy transformation

The influence of Envision AESC has long surpassed national borders. At present, it has established advanced super factory networks in multiple countries such as China, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Spain, and built a global production and supply chain system. The company is not only a strategic partner of top global automotive brands such as Mercedes Benz, BMW, Nissan, Renault, and Honda, but also provides high-quality power battery products for over one million electric vehicles in more than 60 countries worldwide.
