A Massachusetts-based company that manufacturers electric vehicle batteries is planning to build a factory in Bridgeport, with the help of $47.5 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding from the U.S. Department of Energy. Nanoramic Laboratories plans to create 200 permanent jobs at the plant for the manufacturing of lithium iron phosphate battery electrodes for grid storage. Nanoramic Laboratories is owned by FastCap Ultracapacitors, based in Wakefield, Massachusetts. On Friday, Gov. Ned Lamont, other state officials and John Cooley, founder and chief products officer for Nanoramic Laboratories, announced the project at the University of Bridgeport’s Harrison Steans Advanced Manufacturing Center.
