Sila's New Plant Boosts EV Battery Production with Faster, Longer-Lasting Silicon Anodes
Sila has inaugurated its expansive silicon anode manufacturing plant in Moses Lake, Washington. The facility, powered by clean hydropower, will initially produce Titan Silicon, Sila's innovative silicon-carbon anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
Spanning 600,000 square feet on a 160-acre property, the plant is designed to supply advanced battery materials for electric vehicle manufacturers and other battery-powered applications. It was constructed with integrated safety and environmental controls, as well as automotive-grade quality systems for consistent production.
Sila's Titan Silicon product promises significant improvements: up to a 20 percent energy density boost compared to leading graphite-based cells, and two times faster charging speeds. The plant's initial capacity ranges from two to five gigawatt-hours (GWh), with design flexibility for future expansion up to 250 GWh within five years. The planned capacity within the next five years is 100 GWh.
Sila's Moses Lake plant, powered by clean hydropower, will produce Titan Silicon, a silicon-carbon anode material designed to enhance energy density and charging speeds in lithium-ion batteries. The plant's initial capacity and planned expansion align with the growing demand for advanced battery materials in the electric vehicle industry.
