To date, Canada’s largest battery electric bus contract went to New Flyer. The first buses to roll out of the production lines will be addressed to Toronto Transit Commission, the country’s largest transit operator, that will receive ten zero emission buses with an option for 30 more. Toronto is less than 60 km far from BYD Canadian plant.
Canada’s electric vehicle battery supply chain is one step closer to realization with today’s confirmation from Quebec-based electric bus manufacturer, Lion Electric Co., that it will build a battery pack manufacturing plant and innovation centre in its home province.
The 45,000-square-foot facility here is the first new electric bus plant to open in Ontario in a generation. Newmarket will be the first Canadian assembly site for BYD (Build Your Dreams), which manufactures zero emission buses. Supplied photo
To date, BYD has sold over 85,000 battery electric buses worldwide, as well as an additional 5 million battery and hybrid vehicles. General Enquiry Subscribe Editorial Request BYD will supply four Dreamer Type D Battery Electric Buses to Attridge Transportation and York University in Canada.
Lion, Quebec and Canada will gain from this, both on the economic and environmental fronts, to the great benefit of generations to come.” Bédard told Electric Autonomy that he estimates Lion will see almost 50 per cent cost savings in battery pack assembly when the plant is operational — game-changing numbers for any company.
Electric battery bus manufacturer BYD has been contracted to supply four of its Dreamer Type D Battery Electric Buses to clients in Canada.

Gigafactory Nevada (also known as Giga Nevada or Gigafactory 1) is a and component factory in , United States. The facility, located east of , is owned and operated by The factory supplies battery packs and drivetrain components (including motors) for the company's electric vehicles, produces the . On 24 June 2024, in , South Korea, a factory owned by Aricell caught on fire after several batteries exploded. The fire killed 23 workers and wounded eight more, mostly Chinese nationals. [pdf]
The lithium-ion battery megafactory is an engine for growth. The selling price for lithium-ion battery NCM cells used in electric vehicles fell from $290/kWh in 2014 to $110/kWh in 2020, a decline of 14.9 per cent a year, primarily due to increased scale of manufacturing.
Silicon Valley startup Lyten announced on Tuesday its plan to build the world's first gigafactory for lithium-sulfur batteries in Reno, Nevada, as companies seek to capitalize on the demand for more affordable power sources for electric vehicles.
A massive factory fire that began after several lithium batteries exploded has killed at least 22 people in South Korea. The blaze broke out on Monday morning at the Aricell plant in Hwaseong city, about 45km (28 miles) south of the capital Seoul.
Lyten’s factory will manufacture cathode active materials (CAM) and lithium metal anodes and complete assembly of lithium-sulfur battery cells in both cylindrical and pouch formats. Lyten has been manufacturing CAM and lithium metal anodes and assembling batteries at its semi-automated pilot facility in San Jose, Calif., since May 2023.
The Nevada factory will produce lithium-sulfur battery cells that are fully compliant with the Inflation Reduction Act, National Defense Appropriations Act (NDAA), and will not be subject to Section 301 tariffs.
Lithium-sulfur is a leap in battery technology, delivering a high energy density, light weight battery built with abundantly available local materials and 100% U.S. manufacturing,” stated Dan Cook, Lyten Co-Founder and CEO. Celina Mikolajczak, Lyten Chief Battery Technology Officer, added “Nevada has been our preferred location from the start.
