Incorrect, this is about how much battery production is produced in total. The talk about cars is explaining the breakdown of demand.
Show me a source claiming that 1,500 GWh of batteries was actually produced. Not installed capacity. Not demand. Actual production. 1.5 TWh is an incredibly high number, and would represent a 200% increase over the previous year.
This source talks about demand (not production) of 670 GWh for 2022 [1] but who knows how much of that demand was actually fulfilled. But even if it was 100% fulfilled that's still less than half of 1,500 GWh.
The latest data I could find on actual production was 476 GWh in 2021 [2].
