- LG Energy Solution completed the NextStar Energy EV battery factory in Windsor, Canada.
- The facility has already produced more than one million battery cells since mass production began.
The LG Energy Solution NextStar Energy factory in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, has reached a major milestone with the completion of its large-scale electric vehicle battery manufacturing facility. Developed to strengthen EV supply chains in North America, the plant covers approximately 390,000 square meters and focuses on producing battery modules, electrodes, and cells used in modern electric vehicles. The facility represents a significant step in expanding regional battery manufacturing capacity as EV adoption continues to accelerate across global automotive markets.
NextStar Energy factory begins large-scale EV battery production
The NextStar Energy factory was created in March 2022 as a joint venture between LG Energy Solution and Stellantis N.V., combining battery manufacturing expertise with global automotive production capabilities. The Windsor facility started battery module production in 2024 and later expanded operations to full-scale mass production of electrodes and cells in November 2025. Since launching mass production, the plant has already produced more than one million battery cells, supporting the growing demand for electrified passenger vehicles.
LG Energy Solution plans full ownership of the facility
In February 2026, LG Energy Solution announced plans to acquire 100 percent ownership of NextStar Energy by purchasing the remaining shares of the joint venture. The acquisition is scheduled to take effect on June 30, 2026, after which the company will operate the Windsor battery facility independently. The move is expected to streamline operational management while strengthening LG Energy Solution’s position in the rapidly expanding electric vehicle battery manufacturing sector.
