Electric vehicle manufacturer Mullen Automotive Inc. plans for battery production operations to begin at its Fullerton, California facility by mid-2025.
The Fullerton facility is dedicated to producing next-generation, American-made battery packs and modules—critical components to Mullen’s zero-emissions commitment and a step toward reducing reliance on key battery components imported from foreign countries.
“A key mission for our company is to transition to American-made battery components,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “Our focus is on producing batteries and modules made right here in the USA.”
To date, Mullen has installed three battery lines at the California facility—a high-volume standard battery chemistry line; a high-precision, low-volume standard chemistry R&D line; and a high-precision, low-volume solid-state polymer R&D line, the company noted in a press release.
Plans call for an additional high-volume standard chemistry battery line and an additional high-volume, fully automated wire bonding line to be installed soon. Battery production is then anticipated to begin by mid-2025.
