Facilities & Infrastructure
World-class facilities that attract researchers, industry, and talent — giving partners access to capabilities that are difficult to build in-house and rare within a university setting.
Where the work happens
Open access · IP-neutral
A full-service facility for cell and module fabrication, testing, and analysis. The lab is open-access and IP-neutral, allowing companies, startups, and academic researchers to scale materials into working cells without giving up their intellectual property.
A century of powertrain research
A century-old proving ground being reshaped for the electric era, with powertrain and vehicle-level test capability that supports research on propulsion systems, thermal management, and electrified drivetrains.
Grid integration
Bi-directional charging infrastructure at Mcity supports research at the intersection of vehicles and the electric grid — from vehicle-to-grid energy flows to charging equipment and infrastructure studies.
Companies, startups, and research teams can work with the EVC to access U-M's electric mobility labs.
