Overview
EVE Energy Co., Ltd., commonly known as EVE Energy, is a Chinese battery manufacturer founded in 2001 by Liu Jincheng and headquartered in Huizhou, Guangdong. The company develops and manufactures primary lithium batteries, rechargeable lithium-ion cells, battery packs, and related energy-storage products. Its business spans consumer batteries, power-tool cells, electric-vehicle batteries, commercial-vehicle applications, and grid and utility-scale energy-storage systems. The company became publicly listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's ChiNext market in 2009. Over time, it expanded from consumer and specialty lithium batteries into large-format rechargeable cells for mobility and stationary storage. Its portfolio includes cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch formats, using chemistries such as lithium iron phosphate and nickel-manganese-cobalt materials. EVE supplies cells and battery-related products to customers and partners in China and overseas and is generally described as a Tier-1 battery supplier. A major phase of expansion began around 2018–2021, when EVE pursued automotive supply contracts, manufacturing joint ventures, and large capacity additions in China. Its Jingmen operations in Hubei became a central production base, with successive plans covering cylindrical and prismatic cells for power tools, vehicles, and energy storage. The company also announced or developed facilities and projects in Huizhou, Chengdu, Qujing, Shenyang, Jianyang, Qidong, and other Chinese locations. EVE has increasingly internationalized its manufacturing and commercial organization. It established regional operations in Singapore and Germany, announced a Malaysian plant for cylindrical cells, and planned a Debrecen, Hungary, factory intended to supply BMW's next-generation vehicles. In North America, it participated in Amplify Cell Technologies, a joint venture involving Accelera, Daimler Trucks & Buses, and Paccar to manufacture lithium-iron-phosphate cells for commercial vehicles in Mississippi. In 2024 the company announced regional headquarters covering China and several international regions, and its United States subsidiary launched a regional headquarters in California. The company also works across the battery value chain. Announced partnerships and investments have involved separator films, cathode and anode materials, lithium compounds, battery-management systems, battery modules, and complete energy-storage systems. Customers and commercial partners mentioned in public materials include Daimler, Powin, American Battery Solutions, ABB, Tesla, and other industrial and automotive companies. In 2025 EVE announced plans to seek a Hong Kong listing through an H-share issuance, subject to the applicable process and approvals. EVE's strategic positioning is based on a combination of battery-chemistry development, high-volume manufacturing, multiple cell formats, and international capacity. Public market studies cited by the company's reference materials have placed it among the world's significant energy-storage and electric-vehicle battery suppliers, although rankings and market shares vary by year, product category, and research provider.
History
EVE Energy was established in 2001 by Liu Jincheng in Huizhou, Guangdong. Its early business centered on lithium batteries for consumer and specialty applications. The company later broadened its technology base and product range to include rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, supporting applications such as power tools, consumer devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage. A key corporate milestone came in 2009, when EVE was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's ChiNext market. Publicly traded status supported investment in research, production infrastructure, and the transition toward larger rechargeable cells. During the late 2010s, the company began pursuing deeper involvement in automotive batteries. In 2018 it won a contract to supply traction batteries to Daimler over a ten-year period. In 2019 EVE announced a proposed 50:50 joint venture with SK Innovation for pouch-format automotive cells; in 2020 SK Innovation assumed loans associated with EVE United Energy in exchange for a stake in that subsidiary. From 2021 onward, EVE announced a succession of large manufacturing and research projects. In Huizhou it planned new prismatic lithium-iron-phosphate production and battery-management-system facilities. In Jingmen, Hubei, it disclosed phased expansions covering cylindrical LFP, prismatic NMC, and other cells for power tools, vehicles, and energy storage. Additional Jingmen projects involved separator-film production with Yunnan Energy New Material. EVE also announced a Chengdu research and manufacturing complex, a Qujing project for cylindrical LFP cells, and plans for facilities in Shenyang, Qidong, Jianyang, and other Chinese locations. The company pursued vertical and strategic integration during this period. Announced transactions and joint ventures involved lithium-carbonate and lithium-hydroxide producer Shandong Ruifu Lithium Industry, BTR Sichuan New Material Technology, cathode-material production with Hunan Zhongke Electric, and separator-film supply. These moves reflected the importance of securing materials and processing capacity as the electric-vehicle and energy-storage markets expanded. EVE also developed a substantial partner network. Powin agreed to purchase LFP cells for energy-storage systems, later expanding its agreements for projects including the Waratah battery-storage system in New South Wales. American Battery Solutions signed a purchase agreement for prismatic LFP cells. EVE signed or announced cooperation with ABB, Energy Absolute, Aksa Power Generation, and other industrial companies. In 2023 it joined Accelera, Daimler Trucks & Buses, and Paccar in establishing Amplify Cell Technologies, which planned a Mississippi plant for LFP cells used in North American commercial vehicles. International manufacturing became a more explicit objective in the 2020s. EVE announced a Malaysian facility in Kedah for 21700 cylindrical NMC cells used in power tools, two-wheeled vehicles, and cleaning devices. The plant produced its first cells in February 2025 and was described as the company's first operational battery plant outside China. EVE also announced a large Debrecen, Hungary, project intended to supply BMW's Neue Klasse vehicles with large cylindrical NMC cells and cell-to-pack systems. The company expanded regional commercial operations in Asia, Europe, and North America, including a US regional headquarters in California. In late 2024 EVE announced a supply agreement with an American customer, subsequently identified in public reporting as Tesla, for cells made by its Malaysian operation for energy-storage systems, with deliveries expected to begin in 2026. In June 2025 the company announced plans to pursue an H-share listing in Hong Kong. EVE's development therefore reflects a progression from a Chinese consumer-battery producer to a diversified, internationally expanding supplier of mobility and stationary-storage cells.
