The new £5m smart battery production plant will help the company scale up for projects with manufacturers.
The plant dubbed, Arc Fab Pilot, is based in Brackley and is set to be brought online in 2025. The site is expected to slash the time-to-market and development costs for EVs.
It will also reduce risk for automakers needing customer EV battery packs.

Ionetic’s Arc Fab Pilot Facility
The 5000-sq-ft facility will be Ionetic’s global HQ and industrial centre. Ionetic develops packs for low volume automakers. James Eaton, CEO and co-founder of Ionetic, said: “With EV adoption accelerating, OEMs need effective, flexible battery solutions. By embedding agility into the core of our production model, we’re removing the most significant barriers to custom EV battery production; cost, time, risk, and scalability."
Revolutionising EV Battery Production
“Arc Fab Pilot will be the first step towards unleashing the potential of our Arc technology stack, allowing us to produce custom battery packs at a speed and price point that the current market simply doesn’t allow for, from right here in the UK.”
The Arc Fab system can create a variety of EV battery pack designs on a single line.
