Collard was instrumental in getting the New York-based experts to partner up with researchers and entrepreneurs in Australia so that one day his country can be self sufficient in the production of lithium-ion batteries. “It’s the cleanest of all technologies,” Collard toldplans to construct a sister facility in Victoria, Australia, which will produce 5 GWh of batteries each year. It is expected to come online in 2026. Hopefully Australia will have an EV manufacturing industry by then.
