Tesla to Build Megapack Battery Factory in Shanghai, China

Tesla is building a new factory in Shanghai to produce 10,000 Megapack battery units per year, in response to growing demand for energy storage as lithium prices have fallen by over 57%. The new plant will complement Tesla's existing California factory and is expected to begin production in Q2 2024. The move is part of Tesla's expansion in China, where it already has a Gigafactory. The International Energy Administration has said energy storage is crucial to Net Zero 2050 commitments, and expects grid-scale battery storage capacity to expand 44-fold between 2021 and 2030.

Tesla to Construct Megapack Battery Factory in Shanghai

Tesla will open a factory in Shanghai to produce its Megapack large-scale batteries, which are intended to store energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar, allowing energy to be drawn even when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. The Chinese factory will be built in Lingang, a suburban area of Shanghai where Tesla’s vehicle factory is also located. The investment in China by Tesla comes after the coronavirus pandemic brought some supply chains to a halt as factories in China shut down amid strict “zero covid” protocols.
