RE:RE:RE:Car company or battery company?
RE:RE:RE:Car company or battery company?It is in fact Panasonic at the current time as they transition to their own battery production. Keep in mind that Pansonic is a coowner/opperator of the new Tesla giga factory. So this new factory has years of experiance behind it with the help of Panasonic.
Tesla has always said that the largest problem with battery storage is the cost of the battery. This new giga factory with locally enviromentally sourced inputs is going to drop the price of their batteries by 30%
For a model S car the battery cost will be reduced in the neighbourhood of $5000.00. That is the motivation behind this giga factory. It also allows battery production to meet all of Tesla's product needs in both EV and Powerwall.
Alabama Graphite only needs a small piece of this growth from anyone of the many players.
