The Increase In Tesla Battery Production, Made By Panasonic, Will Be In Kansas And Will Start After 2024

Panasonic is currently supplying lithium batteries to Tesla from the joint venture in Nevada and Japan. The battery production lines in the country are more effective, and Panasonic is currently seeking to improve battery manufacturing processes in the U.S. so that the country’s factories can drive efficiency like in Japan. Panasonic has reserves to increase productivity by 10%.

Some Japanese engineers went to Nevada in the first half of 2022 to optimize Panasonic’s battery production at a local traction battery factory, according to the Nikkei Asian Review. In the future, the improvements in the factories should boost annual production of traction batteries with a total capacity of 43 GWh.

In the U.S., Panasonic will increase the production of 2170-size lithium cells, which have been used for a long time and will gradually be replaced by more modern 4680-type cells. Panasonic is already manufacturing these latest batteries on its pilot line in Japan and the U.S. In the quarterly conference preceding the last one, Elon Musk admitted that this year Tesla’s capabilities will not be limited by the number of available 4680 cells.

Improvements In Tesla Battery Production Plants Will Not Happen Before 2024

Panasonic stated in July that it is planning to build a new battery cell facility in Kansas; however, this project will not be realized until at least 2024.

Chinese media directly discussed the possibility of Tesla using battery packs manufactured by the Chinese company BYD in its factory in Berlin during the week of August 8. Tesla’s electric vehicles now use cylindrical battery cells, and switching to batteries would complicate the production processes in Berlin significantly; thus, these rumors should be treated with caution.

However, it is possible that in some models of electric vehicles in the coming years, Tesla may foresee using Panasonic batteries with different layouts, primarily in China, where it is heavily reliant on local suppliers.

Tesla Uses BYD Batteries In Its Electric Cars

According to Chinese media, Tesla is already using BYD’s Blade batteries in its electric vehicles developed at the giant Berlin factory, a unit that was established this year and is in the ramp-up process.

According to a report from Sinatech, the first units of the Blade battery will be in Tesla Model Y models assembled at the German factory between late August and early September. It is also stated that the batteries will not be used at Tesla’s Shanghai factory, at least not at this initial stage.

If we consider the past of the battery manufacturer, Lian Yubo, executive vice president of BYD and director of the Automotive Engineering Research Institute, had already spoken about the partnership in an interview with state media CGTN. In the meeting, the executive mentioned that BYD would soon supply Blade batteries to Tesla.

At first, the only Tesla vehicle equipped with Blade batteries will be the electric SUV Model Y, according to sources related to the matter. However, this is a partnership that slowly increases; moreover, the full use of Blade batteries may be more likely next year.

Is a smart plug worth it in a regular home? What does it offer: turns on and off via smartphone, creates routines by schedule, prevents forgotten devices, sometimes monitors consumption, and improves habits without renovation or miracles.

Geographers redefine the Brazilian relief and confirm the presence of mountains in 14 states with a new system that changes historical criteria and alters the way the territory is classified.

Archaeologists have discovered a colossal submerged wall in the Atlantic, dating back 7,000 years and weighing 3,300 tons, regarded as the largest prehistoric submerged structure ever found in France.

There is a city in China right next to Hong Kong where people speak Portuguese, the streets have names in Portuguese, and the architecture looks like it came straight out of a historic city in Brazil.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

Cyclone Narelle swept through northern Australia with winds of 200 kilometers per hour, destroying crops, homes, and marine life, but what came next was even more surprising: an entire community took to the streets to help strangers.

Factory produces durable plastic chairs using plastic bags, transforming waste into long-lasting furniture, and the industrial process demonstrates efficiency and sustainability.

Fine of up to R$ 10,000 for wood stoves? Yes, but it’s not a crime: excessive smoke, burning trash, and urban use can lead to fines, and the rules change depending on the local inspector.

The chamber approves a project that transforms plots of up to 2,000 square meters into official rural properties, allowing thousands of small producers who were invisible to the government to now access credit, tax exemptions, and technical assistance.

Most drivers make a big mistake on the road without knowing: there is an exact speed that makes the engine work with minimal effort and saves much more fuel, and it is neither 80 km/h nor 100 km/h as many imagine.

A simple technique of wetting the brick before laying it prevents cracks, improves the adhesion of the mortar, reduces fissures, and ensures stronger walls and more durable constructions.

The government opens the vault and deposits R$ 2.6 billion for the construction of Brazil’s first underwater tunnel, with a length of 1.5 km, 870 m under the sea, a total project cost of R$ 6.8 billion, and a 30-year concession.

Only 46 meters remain for Brazil and Paraguay to connect via the Bioceanic Route bridge, the project that will link the Atlantic to the Pacific by land and change the logistical map of four countries in South America.

The bridge that holds the largest stone railway arch in the world: built over 100 years ago, destroyed in the war, and rebuilt to continue operating to this day, it still carries trains over the Soča River in Slovenia.
