Recalls and safety
None found.
Not confirmed. A Gotion vice president, on the Illinois site, verbatim. We have car batteries here, but we are not doing that now.
Vehicles using their cells
- confirmed contract, model allocation unknown
- Volkswagen unified cell supply, mass production began November 2025 at Hefei. Both companies declined to name which models get them
Confirmed means an automaker or supplier statement, a filing, or a recall document named it. Reported means press or analyst claim only. Several automakers dual source, so one model can carry cells from more than one maker.
