According to foreign media on December 27th, the United States will have 13 new battery gigawatt factories online by 2025.
Aside from Tesla and Panasonic’s Nevada Gigafactory, which produces batteries for Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y models, there aren’t many battery factories in the United States. Currently, China, South Korea, and Japan are the main sources of electric vehicle batteries for the United States.
As the production of electric vehicles rapidly increases in the United States, it hopes to address the shortage by building a set of new battery factories.
The Department of Energy’s list shows that, in addition to the existing electric vehicle battery factories in the United States, 13 factories are planned, all of which are estimated to start operating within the next five years.
Of the 13 factories, eight are joint ventures between automakers and battery manufacturers. Most of these new factories will be built in the southeastern or midwestern United States.
Interestingly, Tesla’s super factory in Texas has also built a battery factory, but it is not mentioned in this list. Tesla’s battery factory could become one of the largest battery factories in the world, with a planned capacity of over 100 gigawatt-hours.
This may be related to the strained relationship between the Biden administration and Tesla. In August of this year, Biden held the “Automotive Emissions Reduction Conference” and invited automakers such as Ford and GM but did not invite Tesla, the highest-selling automaker in the United States.
In recent years, Musk has openly opposed allowing Tesla employees to form a union, which goes against the Biden administration’s policy of expanding manufacturing jobs in the United States. Musk even directly stated on Twitter, “Biden is a UAW (United Auto Workers) puppet.”
In addition, the Biden administration advocates for American automakers to return to domestic production, while Tesla has built factories in China, Europe, and Australia. The California government also rejected Tesla’s request to reopen its factories last year, further exacerbating tensions between Tesla and the Biden administration.
When SpaceX successfully launched in September of this year, Biden did not mention it at all. Musk mocked on Twitter, “He’s always been a sleepyhead president.”
Musk stated at a public meeting, “The Biden administration has never publicly mentioned Tesla, instead praising GM and Ford as leaders of the electric vehicle revolution. This is biased, and we hope to see a more neutral president.”## 13 起电池工厂将在 2025 年前来到美国，开启新纪元
2021 年 12 月 27 日
特斯拉、通用汽车(GM)和福特等美国汽车制造商正加速推动电动汽车(EV)型号，以满足即将到来的汽车市场转型。在进行这股转变的过程中，众多新的电池工厂正在计划和建设中，以支持电动汽车市场所需的庞大电池供应。在最近的一份报告中，工程专业咨询公司“CNCHEM”指出，未来四年，美国将见证至少 13 座新电池工厂的建成。这些工厂将带来足够的产能，以应对美国科技公司和汽车制造商的日益增长的电池需求。
这些新电池工厂的开启将会给电动汽车市场带来巨大的变革和增长机遇。预计美国 EV 车型出货量将在未来四年内翻番，并将在未来十年内继续增加。此外，电动汽车的产量也将在同一时期内达到 206 万辆。
其中，特斯拉是美国最大、已投入生产的电动汽车制造商，在未来几年也将占据很大比例的电池需求。特斯拉正在建设的超级工厂，如德克萨斯州的 Austin Terafactory 和德国的 Giga Berlin 工厂等，都将是电池供应链的主要组成部分。这些特斯拉生产的超级活塞状电池将采用钴、镍和铝等先进化合物材料，提供大幅提升的电池效能和续航里程，此举将打开 EV 行业的新纪元。
