Tesla will build a new energy storage super factory in Shanghai, specializing in the production of Megapack giant batteries

CTOnews.com, April 9 (Xinhua)-- Tesla has announced that he will build a new super factory in Shanghai to produce the company's energy storage product Megapack, according to Xinhua News Agency. CTOnews.com also found that Tesla is already recruiting a project manager for MegaPack in Shanghai.

Currently, a set of MegaPack starts at $1879840 overseas (CTOnews.com Note: about 12.933 million yuan), a reduction of nearly $30, 000 compared to the initial price, and delivery time is Q1 in 2025.

At present, Tesla's business layout is mainly divided into two parts: one is electric vehicles, the other is renewable energy, and the latter can be subdivided into solar energy and energy storage devices, mainly Powerwall, Powerpack, Megapack and other products.

Among them, Megapack is a powerful battery, which can store and supply energy, which helps to stabilize the power grid and prevent power outages. Megapack can store energy for the power grid reliably and safely, eliminating the need to build natural gas peak-shaving power plants and avoiding power outages.

According to Tesla's official data, each Megapack unit can store more than 3 MWh of energy, enough to meet the one-hour electricity needs of 3600 households.

Compared with similar systems on the market, its space footprint is reduced by 40%, the number of components is only 1/10 of similar products, and the installation speed is 10 times faster than the products currently on the market, which is also known as one of the largest energy storage systems on the market.
