Tesla’s U.S. LFP Battery Factory Set to Begin Production Soon!
On June 29, Tesla announced via social media that its lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery factory in Nevada is nearing completion and will soon commence production. This facility is anticipated to have an initial production capacity of 10 GWh, primarily aimed at supporting Tesla’s energy storage business and select vehicle models. The equipment for the factory is supplied by CATL, while Tesla maintains full operational control.
The development of the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery industry in the United States has accelerated significantly in recent months. LG Energy Solution (LGES) has completed two LFP battery production lines at its facility in Michigan and began mass production of pouch-type LFP batteries for energy storage this month. Meanwhile, Ford has made progress on its first self-built LFP battery factory, developed under a technology licensing agreement with CATL, with the main structure now complete and equipment installation set to begin soon, aiming for production to start next year.
Additionally, General Motors has requested that LGES and SDI expand LFP battery production lines at their joint venture battery plants in the U.S.
