❷Tesla
expands 4680 battery production capacity and imports Chinese battery cathodes
Recently, Tesla began to purchase cathode rolls (components of battery cells) produced by two Chinese second-tier battery companies in the second half of 2023 and then shipped them to the Texas factory in the United States to produce 4680 batteries. The two companies were the suppliers chosen by Tesla after reviewing the cylindrical battery production lines of several Chinese power battery companies last year. The positive electrode roll accounts for about 35% of the cost of the entire battery cell. This practice of purchasing pole coils from China and then making them into batteries may continue until the third quarter of this year. A person close to Tesla said that Tesla’s battery supplier Panasonic will not start production of 4680 batteries in the third quarter of this year. (LatePost later)
