Mullen Automotive announces new EV battery facility in California

Mullen Automotive announced a new high-energy facility in Fullerton, California, expanding the company’s overall U.S. footprint, including EV battery development and production capabilities. This new Southern California facility is dedicated to producing American-made EV battery packs. Mullen’s high-energy pilot facility in Monrovia, California, will be consolidated with the recently purchased Romeo Power assets at the company’s new high-energy and high-volume battery pack production facility in Fullerton, California. Mullen plans to close the Monrovia facility by the end of 2023, transferring existing battery testing and production equipment to the brand new and state-of-the-art location in Fullerton. Beginning in December 2023, Mullen will begin calibration of the solid-state polymer battery BMS for integration into the Class 1 EV cargo van. The company will begin drivable testing of the solid-state polymer battery packs in the Class 1 EV cargo van in Q1 2024.
