💡⚡Panasonic Cranks Up the Juice: Tesla’s Nevada Gigafactory set for a 10% Power Boost 🚀💪
TL;DR; 💥 A little birdie from Panasonic tells us they’re going to kick up the battery production at Tesla’s Nevada Gigafactory by 10% within the next three years. But wait, there’s more! Panasonic Energy’s gearing up to install a 15th production line at the factory too. All these sparks are flying without a peep from our silent partner, Tesla. And if you thought that’s all, hold onto your seats, because Panasonic’s playing the long game here, planning to pump out Tesla 4680 battery cells from at least two new North American factories by 2030. But where exactly? That, my friends, is the $200 gigawatt-hour question. 🤔
Once upon a time in Nevada, Panasonic and Tesla set up a shop together. 💼⚡ This wasn’t your average mom-and-pop store, but a buzzing factory dedicated to cranking out batteries for electric vehicles. 🚗⚡Now, Panasonic is ready to rev things up by boosting battery production by a solid 10%. You heard that right, folks! 👂🔊
During a hush-hush business strategy meeting last week, Panasonic Energy spilled the beans. The Nevada factory’s production capacity is set to get juiced up by March 2026. And it’s not just about the numbers – a new production line is joining the team! The 15th one, to be precise. 🎉🔧
Now, if you’re anything like us, you’re probably wondering what Tesla has to say about all this. So far, we’ve got nada, zilch, zip from them. But hey, let’s not jump to conclusions just yet. 🤷♀️
The intrigue doesn’t end there, though. Panasonic revealed last month they’re plotting to set up at least two new factories by 2030. Their mission? To manufacture Tesla’s 4680 battery cells. 🏭🔋 The aim is to increase their auto battery capacity to a whopping 200 gigawatt hours per year by 2031. That’s four times what they’re doing now, in case you’re wondering. 😱
But here’s the real kicker: they haven’t said where these new factories are going to be. We’re left in the dark just as much as you are. 🌍🕵️♀️
So, it seems Panasonic is all geared up to supercharge the EV battery industry. But the big question still looms: where on Earth will they plant their new factories? And even more intriguing: what does Tesla really think about all this? 🧐
In the grand scheme of things, what do these power moves mean for the electric vehicle industry? And just how electrified will our future be if these plans pan out? ⚡🌍🔮
