like Toyota, Volvo, Panasonic and Envision AESC also have a strong foothold in this region, in addition to many other battery manufacturers,” the company says. “South Carolina allows us to meet our partners’ demand while also scaling in the most sustainable and cost-effective way.”
That will be important because the size of the battery supply chain is one of the environmental weaknesses of electric vehicles.

When it comes to the environmental impact, though, Redwood Materials says that it wants to be a leader. Not only will its operations be 100 percent electric , it will source only zero emissions, clean energy.

Redwood plans to break ground on the new South Carolina campus in the first quarter of the coming year. It expects to have its first recycling process up and running by the end of 2023.
