Tesla plans to build its own factory batteries
Company Tesla , led by Elon Musk has long been planning to transfer from electric relatively rare (depending on which countries, of course) into the mainstream. And if so, it is necessary to build electric vehicles more than now, because the demand for them is growing steadily. For Tesla, as far as we can understand the "bottleneck" of production is the battery. Yes, they need a lot, and manufacturers cooperating with Tesla, do not have time to deal with the orders. And the company intends to establish its own production of batteries.
industrial complex to be built, will have to use a maximum of alternative energy sources, and does not harm the environment, do not use toxic elements. Of course, to implement such a plan - a difficult, if at all doable task, but Elon Musk is not going to back down.
Old type batteries will be transformed into something new at work, the size of which (probably here means the performance, not geometry) will be compared with the total size / capacity of production Li-Ion batteries all over the world.
Interestingly, a similar statement made Tesla already after renewed a deal with Panasonic, the Japanese company that manufactures batteries for electric vehicles of the customer before. The deal provides for the extension of four years. During this time, Panasonic is committed to deliver 2 billion (!) New Li-Ion cells for use in the Model S and Model X.
In addition, Musk said that his company is likely to enter into a contract for the production of batteries and other manufacturers.
With regard to information about their own production, then, according to all the same Elon Musk, is not yet time to go into detail. But knowing the ability of this person to implement their plans in life, there is no doubt that what will be done. And do not forget that earlier Tesla patented hybrid battery, which is enough for 640+ kilometers
