Overview
- The sale gives LG Energy Solution full ownership of NextStar Energy, and the plant will continue supplying Stellantis with batteries.
- Stellantis called the transfer a mutually agreed strategic decision and said it remains a committed customer of the Windsor operation.
- LG plans to grow the workforce from more than 1,300 employees to as many as 2,500 as production ramps.
- Over $3.7 billion has been invested in the facility, which began module output in fall 2024 and started mass cell production in November 2025.
- The move aligns with a wider reshaping of battery ventures, including Stellantis’ Kokomo JV shifting toward storage and GM and Ford revising partnerships with LG Energy Solution and SK On.
