the Case is updated.
A few days into the new year started the production of batteries in it which is known as Tesla’s “Gigafactory”, according to a press release from Tesla.
the Plant is built up by the american elbilprodusenten in collaboration with Panasonic, outside of Sparks, Nevada. Construction started in June 2014.
Here it produces cells to the batteries in a volume like never before. “2170-cells” should, according to Tesla “for the highest possible performance at the lowest cost possible for use in cars and other energy products”.
They have estimated a cost reduction of 30 percent compared with today.
Launches the new Tesla competitor: 1000 horsepower and reach 60 miles
to begin with, the cells used in Tesla’s storage products, and from the second quarter of the batteries for their next car, the Model 3.
“Gigafactory” to produce 35 gigawatt hours per. years of lithium-ion batteries, almost as much as the rest of the world’s total batteriproduksjon, says the company.

the Name “Gigafactory” will originate from the factory’s planned annual production capacity of 35 gigawatt-hours (GWh).
“Giga” is a unit of measurement which equals one billion. A GWh is equivalent to production or consumption by one billion watts in an hour, this is a million times more than a kilowatt hour.

Plant is on the well 175.000 square meters with a floor area of 455.000 square meters. The plan is that there will eventually be more than three times as large.
” We expect that the building will be the world’s largest, writes Tesla in the press release.
Automation, volume, and that everything is done in one place, to make the process far cheaper than in the day.
By bringing down the costs of batteries, can we make our products available to more and more people, which will make us able to have the greatest possible impact so that the world is going over to sustainable energy. The facility will also create many new jobs. It is estimated 6500 at the factory, and indirectly between 20,000 and 30,000 in the surrounding areas, when the factory is in full production in 2018.
