Tesla Plans Expansion of Nevada Gigafactory for Battery Production

Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturer, is set to expand its gigafactory located in Sparks, Nevada, by establishing a new facility aimed at enhancing its battery production capabilities, Bloomberg News has reported. This expansion is part of Tesla’s initiative to domestically produce lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells, a critical component for its Megapack batteries, which are designed to store energy for grid use, facilitating the elimination of gas peaker plants and reducing the risk of power outages.

The company intends to acquire unused equipment from Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), a leading Chinese battery manufacturer, to manufacture these LFP cells. Furthermore, Tesla plans to double the production capacity of its megafactory in Lathrop, California. This facility is presently equipped to produce 10,000 Megapack units annually, which translates to 40GWh of clean energy storage.

During a webcast to announce Tesla’s financial results for the fourth quarter of 2023, CEO Elon Musk highlighted the significant growth of the company’s energy storage sector, which delivered nearly 15GWh of batteries in 2023, marking a substantial increase from 6.5GWh in the previous year. Musk emphasized the anticipated continued growth in this area, reflecting his longstanding prediction that the energy storage sector would outpace the company’s automotive segment in terms of growth.

According to a source close to the situation who spoke with Bloomberg News, Tesla’s decision to bolster battery production in the United States is a strategic move to localize the supply chain for LFP cells within the country. This effort aligns with broader national objectives to enhance supply chain resilience by promoting domestic production of critical materials and reducing dependence on foreign sources, particularly from nations considered adversarial.

The Biden-Harris Administration has actively encouraged the establishment of a ‘made in America’ supply chain for essential materials, reflecting concerns over national and economic security risks associated with over-reliance on foreign suppliers for critical minerals and materials. The White House has prioritized supply chain resilience since the beginning of President Biden’s term, proposing various measures to decrease carbon emissions within US government supply chains and announcing actions aimed at strengthening American supply chains across different sectors.
