I-Tesla yakha ulayini wayo wokukhiqiza amaseli, kubandakanya naseYurophu.

U-Tesla ulungiselela ukwethula ulayini wokukhiqiza ibhethri le-lithium-ion eFremont. Lokhu kungenxa yezikhangiso zemisebenzi ezifakwe kusizindalwazi somkhiqizi. Eminyakeni yamuva, inkampani ka-Elon Musk ibilungiselela kakhulu ukukhulisa ibhizinisi layo ngalolu hlobo lomsebenzi.

U-Tesla ufuna ukuba ne-1 GWh yamaseli ngonyaka

U-Musk umemezele ngonyaka odlule ukuthi inkampani izodinga i-1 GWh/000 TWh yamaseli ngonyaka. Ukuze kuzuzwe lokhu kusebenza kahle - okuphindwe izikhathi eziningana kunomthamo wamanje wokukhiqiza wazo zonke izimboni emhlabeni - i-Tesla kuzodingeka ibe nomugqa wayo namaseli cishe kuwo wonke ama-gigafactory.

Kungenzeka ukuthi umkhiqizi waseCalifornian ulungiselela lokhu. Inkampani isivele ithenge inkampani yaseJalimane iGrohmann, ekhiqiza i-automation yokuhlanganisa ibhethri. Wathenga i-Hibar yaseCanada eyenza okufanayo. Ithole i-Maxwell Technologies, umkhiqizi we-supercapacitor kanye nomnikazi welungelo lobunikazi wobuchwepheshe beseli ye-lithium-ion.

> Nansi imoto okungamele ibe khona. Lona umphumela wezibalo zososayensi baseJalimane.

Manje, njengoba i-Electrek iphawula, u-Tesla ufuna "unjiniyela wokukhiqiza umshayeli, uchwepheshe wamaseli." Isimemezelo siveze ukuthi "bekuwukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kwalolu hlelo." ukukhiqiza amaseli ebhethri esizukulwane esisha“. Lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi inkampani isivele inomnyango wokuthuthukisa amaseli (umthombo).

Iqhaza lesisebenzi esisha ukuthi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukuhlela kanye nokwethula ukukhiqizwa kwamaseli eYurophu... Lokhu kusho ukuthi ulayini womhlangano ofunwayo e-Gigafactory 4 eduze kwaseBerlin ungaba ulayini kaTesla, kunokuba kube isiza esiqashiswayo sePanasonic noma i-LG Chem.

Umkhiqizi waseCalifornia okwamanje usebenzisa amaseli e-lithium-ion ahlinzekwa yi-Panasonic e-US, nase-China yi-Panasonic ne-LG Chem, enekhono lokusebenzisa izinsiza ze-CATL:

> I-CATL yaseChina ikuqinisekisile ukunikezwa kwamaseli e-Tesla. Leli igatsha lesithathu lomkhiqizi waseCalifornian.

U-Tesla uhlela uSuku Lwamabhethri no-Powertrain ngo-Ephreli 2020.... Khona-ke cishe sizothola imininingwane eyengeziwe.

Lokhu kungase kube nentshisekelo kuwe:
