Tesla Expands battery supply: Eve Energy becomes battery supplier

Why expanded Tesla its battery suppliers?

The growing demand for energy storage solutionssuch as the Megapack for industrial plants and the Powerwall for private households, requires an expansion of the battery supply chains. Tesla's energy storage factory in the USA requires around 40 GWh of battery capacity annually - a figure that continues to rise.

The expansion of suppliers gives Tesla also more pricing power over the manufacturers and reduces dependence on individual partners such as CATL. Despite the new partnerships, CATL remains the main supplier for Tesla's energy storage business.

Demand for these solutions is growing rapidly worldwide, which is being driven by the construction of the Shanghai Megafactory is underlining this.

The Shanghai MegafactoryTesla's first energy storage project outside the USA, will produce Megapacks for the global market from the first quarter of 2025. The factory has a planned production capacity of 10,000 units per yearwhich corresponds to a storage capacity of almost 40 GWh equivalent.

In addition Tesla established its own production line for LFP batteries in Nevada in order to lithium iron phosphate batteries for its energy storage solutions in-house.
