The Shanghai plant will manufacture energy storage products.
At first glance, the Shanghai facility seems to be a copy of the Lathrop, California factory, with a planned output of 10,000 Megapacks per year or 30 Gigawatt-hours, considering one Megapack is equipped with 3-Megawatt-hour batteries., Tesla plans to begin the construction of its Chinese Megafactory in the next quarter, with the aim of starting production as early as the second quarter of 2024.
With each unit containing 3 MWh of batteries, the Megapack is infinitely scalable and essentially acts like a massive battery generator that can be used to store energy for different scenarios. In conjunction with solar panels, it can allow its users to be independent of the grid by filling up the batteries during the day and depleting them overnight when the sun doesn’t shine.
According to Tesla, each Megapack unit ships fully assembled and ready to operate, allowing for quick installation times and reduced complexity. They also require minimal maintenance and include up to a 20-year warranty. The energy storage system has an inverter for each battery module and is connected to the Internet, which allows for over-the-air software updates, making it better over time with incremental tweaks and fixes.
