Tesla has ambitious growth plans and its Gigafactory in China plays a role fundamental in this strategy. The goal is that, of course, to further increase production. However, to do so, & egrave; It is necessary for the car manufacturer to have an adequate supply of batteries. According to the Chinese press, the company & agrave; of Elon Musk would have ordered a maxi supply of LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) batteries from his supplier CATL.

According to what is learned, the order would be equal < strong>at 45 GWh . These accumulators, please note, are used inside the Standard Range models produced in the Chinese factory. Whereas the Model 3 Standard Range Plus is; equipped with a 55 kWh battery and the Model Y Standard Range of a 60 kWh accumulator, you can & ograve; estimate that this supply by CATL could allow 700-800 thousand of these electric cars to be built.

These are really very important numbers, considering that in the first 9 months of 2021, Tesla delivered a little more; of 620 thousand cars. However, the company & agrave; American also highlighted that it had reached a capacity; production of one million cars per year. With the entry into operation of the Gigafactories in Germany and Texas, the capacity will increase further. This order to CATL & egrave; perfectly in line with the statements of Elon Musk that more & ugrave; he had sometimes asked his partners for more effort to increase the level of supply of the batteries. Apparently, the company & agrave; American would be preparing to significantly increase its production in the course of 2022 also thanks to the expansion of its other sites. According to the report, we are talking about 1.5 million cars next year.

In any case, the LFP accumulators will be more and more; important to Tesla's strategy. In fact, the manufacturer has announced that the Standard Range models produced outside of China will also be equipped with these batteries . Accumulators built with this technology have some advantages including better reliability; and durability over time and above all lower production costs. However, they offer a lower density; energy and suffer more from cold climates.
