Anthro Energy breaks ground on factory that could pave the road to solid-state batteries
Anthro Energy broke ground on Tuesday on a factory in Louisville, Kentucky, to produce battery materials for 300,000 electric vehicles. The facility aims to start production in 2028. CEO David Mackanic said, "When it opens, we'll be serving domestic, high-spec customers," helping many U.S. firms find a China-free supply source.
