Bannon Automotive LLC, in a joint venture with India’s REVA Electric Car Company, is planning to construct a $30 million electric-car manufacturing plant in Clay, New York.

 

Construction plans include the renovation of an existing 150,000-square-foot building and the installation of production equipment for a facility that will produce 15,000 to 20,000 electric cars per year, as Renault's 1 billion investment signals broader momentum in electric mobility.

The electric car plant will use technology developed by the REVA Electric Car Company, reflecting emerging plug-in efficiencies across the sector, and will build REVA's NXR Model a lithium-ion-powered hatchback with three doors and four seats. Construction is anticipated to begin in late spring of this year, with overall completion slated for early fall. Approximately 100 new jobs will be created.

Bannon Automotive LLC is located on Long Island in New York, where a REVA EV plant deal has been reported as close by regional outlets. The company was founded more than a year ago for the purpose of setting up a vehicle plant that to make affordable electric cars, as GM plans affordable EVs for India highlight similar goals.

REVA Electric Car Company, founded in 1994 as a joint venture between the Maini Group of India and California-based AEV LLC, is considered to be the world's leading electric-car manufacturing company, as India EV pioneer plans indicate strong expansion, producing environmentally friendly, cost-effective electric vehicles.
