  • Historic Milestone: Malaysia will start small-scale production of a homegrown graphene-enhanced lithium-ion battery for electric vehicles in July 2026, developed at a cost of around RM20 million
  • Production Facility: The battery will be produced at Gigafactory Malaysia, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NanoMalaysia, at a 15,000 square feet factory in Suria Industrial Park in Sepang
  • Battery Technology: The battery uses nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) chemistry with graphene replacing graphite for the negative electrode, increasing energy storage capacity by up to three times compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries
  • Performance Specs: The graphene-enhanced battery is projected to deliver up to 640 km driving range per charge with fast charging capability, suitable for EVs with energy densities above 200 Wh/kg
  • Scale-Up Plan: Small-scale commercial production starts in July 2026, with megawatt-hour capacity output targeted as early as September 2026. At full scale, the factory can produce around 1 MWh annually, equivalent to 92,000 battery cells
  • ASEAN First: NanoMalaysia CEO Rezal Khairi Ahmad described the project as likely the first of its kind in ASEAN, with no other countries in the region producing homegrown battery technology
  • Export Markets: NanoMalaysia plans strategic partnership with Indonesia for nickel supply, with potential export markets including Indonesia, South Korea, India and Pakistan
  • Cost Benefits: Local production will help lower total EV costs by eliminating import tax, logistics and storage overhead. NanoMalaysia has already received orders from one local organisation for a 25-kWh battery

  • 历史性里程碑：马来西亚将于2026年7月开始小规模生产国产石墨烯增强型锂离子电动汽车电池，开发成本约2,000万令吉
  • 生产设施：该电池将在Gigafactory Malaysia生产，这是NanoMalaysia的全资子公司，工厂位于雪邦Suria工业园区，占地15,000平方英尺
  • 电池技术：该电池采用镍锰钴（NMC）化学体系，以石墨烯替代石墨作为负极材料，与传统锂离子电池相比，储能容量提高多达三倍
  • 性能参数：石墨烯增强电池预计每次充电可提供高达640公里的续航里程，支持快速充电，适用于能量密度超过200 Wh/kg的电动汽车
  • 扩产计划：小规模商业生产于2026年7月启动，最早于2026年9月达到兆瓦时产能。全面投产后，工厂年产能约1兆瓦时，相当于92,000个电池单元
  • 东盟首创：NanoMalaysia首席执行官Rezal Khairi Ahmad称该项目可能是东盟首创，该地区没有其他国家在生产国产电池技术
  • 出口市场：NanoMalaysia计划与印尼建立镍供应战略合作伙伴关系，潜在出口市场包括印尼、韩国、印度和巴基斯坦
  • 成本优势：本地生产将通过免除进口税、物流和仓储费用来降低电动汽车总成本。NanoMalaysia已收到一家本地机构的25千瓦时电池订单
