Situated at the NEW ENERGY INDUSTRIAL PARK, the factory's production capabilities is expected to hit 50,000 units of batteries every year, positioning them prepared to become the leader in Thailand's EV manufacture with Thailand becoming a manufacturing base for EVs in ASEAN. SAIC Motor-CP has inaugurated their latest EV battery production facility in ASEAN dubbed the HASCO-CP Battery Shop, located at the NEW ENERGY INDUSTRIAL PARK covering the area of approximately 75 rais. With the foundation stone laying ceremony held in April, the EV battery production hub is divided into a pair of major areas. The primary area encompasses the battery assembly area that operates fully automated through state-of-the-art robotic technology, Laser Welding for accuracy and CCD vision systems to cross-check the standards of battery with its prototype before its installation into an all-electric car. The other core zone is allocated to battery testing and validation which involves more than 60 processes including Charge & Discharge, air leak detection, insulation testing as well as Static Test. This manufacturing line can produce as many as fifty thousand cell-to-pack EV battery packs per year, with the quality equivalent to batteries made on a global scale. Batteries produced from the production facility will be initially deployed in MG4 ELECTRIC as well as upcoming models in the future. Currently, the factory is undergoing production preparation process with plans for official operations to commence in 2024. Mr. Zhao Feng, President at SAIC Motor-CP, stated, "This battery production plant represents a key element in the masterplan
