"VW is "building six battery factories in Europe alone"."
Interestingly VW's six factories by 2030 produce totally about as much (240 GWh) as Tesla's one Berlin factory, which is due to start limited battery production in 2023, starting at 100 GWh per year, later ramping up to 200-250 GWh.
- ckastner 6y agoThat's a significant counterpoint I wasn't aware of, thanks.
- new_realist 6y agoTesla's original "gigafactory" talked a big talk, too, but they only completed 30% of the building. The Tesla Berlin factory is "capable of over 100 GWh per year" with only vague Musk-promises of it going above that over time.
