Hi Brad yes it's big! I did 4 videos of the plant while under construction

On the inside of the plant, the floor is marked in feet, from the north end to the south end. If you walk from the receiving dock on the south end to the shipping dock on the north end, it is almost a half mile.

What's the purpose of the towers in th back?

Hi Tom I can't really can't tell you as I have nothing to do with the place but I did do 5 videos of the plant while under construction. Thanks for watching and here is my link to over 400 videos. www.youtube.com/@RayNoneya

they look like incinerators equipped with multi-stage dust-collection equipment. my guess would be to recycle cobalt and manganese or other hazardous by-products of lithium battery production and to keep the stuff under control and out of the environment.

@@tommurphy4307 Sounds pretty good to me Tom maybe someone that works there can let us know.

Current battery production process requires mixing a bunch of chemicals with a nasty solvent, spreading that slurry into thin sheets, then letting it dry and putting the resultant dried material into the battery. During that drying process all of those fumes need recaptured, cooled, and ideally reused. I would guess this is cooling equipment to facilitate that process.
