If you’ve ever driven an [electric car](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/10/test-drive-results-genesis-gv60-electric-car/)
or used just about any piece of technology, chances are it’s powered by a lithium-
ion battery. But up until now, just about all of them were produced overseas.

Inside the walls of Imperium3, you’ll find history being written on a daily basis.
Shailesh Upreti is the man leading the charge.

He’s founder and chairman of the first full-scale lithium-ion [battery giga-factory in North America](https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/11/solar-energy-battery-storage-solutions-in-north-america/).
Production has officially begun since [he last spoke](https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/binghamton/news/2022/08/02/exclusive-look-inside-first-lithium-ion-battery-factory)
with _Spectrum News 1_.

### What you need to know:

 * The giga-factory is employing more than 100 people, both locally and globally.
 * Imperium3 New York produces hundreds of batteries a day, meeting worldwide demand.
 * The battery cells will go to a third party for quality control before they are
   purchased and used around the world.
