(AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File) BEIJING (AP) — Electric vehicle maker Tesla has begun construction of a factory in Shanghai to make its Megapack energy storage batteries, Chinese state media reported Thursday. The $200 million plant in Shanghai’s Lingang pilot free trade zone will be the first Tesla battery plant outside the United States.
Anyway, here we are in January 2022, and according to media reports (via CnEVPost ), CATL's new battery plant is ramping-up production and already achieved 60% of undisclosed target capacity. The local media outlet Shanghai Observer reported that the new plant started sending batteries to Tesla in November. We are assuming that those are LFP cells.
The site is located just about 3 km from Tesla Giga Shanghai. CATL shows some extreme expansion pace, as its latest lithium-ion battery plant in Lingang, Shanghai, China reportedly started production. We first heard about the project in June 2021, when Reuters reported about 80 GWh battery plant that CATL intendeds to build in Shanghai.
Battery mineral processing and processed battery minerals trade China processes over 90% of the world’s graphite, and in 2022, Chinese companies accounted for over two-thirds of the world's cobalt and lithium processing capacity. China imported 20% of the world’s processed battery minerals in 2023, made up of mainly cobalt from Africa.
We first heard about the project in June 2021, when Reuters reported about 80 GWh battery plant that CATL intendeds to build in Shanghai. Later in the same month, Tesla signed a new supply deal with CATL that would run from January 2022 to December 2025.
China’s battery production in 2023 alone was similar to global demand. The US is not alone in trying to increase its share of the global battery market. Canada is matching US incentives, while Europe, India and others also are awarding subsidies to grow their battery industries.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
