4. CATL 이 기가 상하이 근처에 대규모 신규 공장을 건설할 계획입니다. 

 

연간 약 80GWh를 생산할 것이라 예상된다고 합니다. 

 

규모가 어마어마하네요 ^^

 

기가 상하이는 연간 45만대의 차량을 생산할 수 있는데, 계획된 확장 단계가 끝나면 약 100만대의 차량을 생산할 수 있을 것으로 보입니다.

Chinese battery manufacturer and Tesla supplier CATL is planning to build a large new plant in Shanghai, close to US manufacturer Giga Shanghai. The expansion of the battery manufacturer in the area goes hand in hand with the expansion of Tesla's manufacturing facilities.

Continuing its rapid expansion pace to solidify its leadership as the world's #1 battery supplier, CATL is planning a new manufacturing facility in Shanghai, two people familiar with the situation said, according to 
Reuters. Based on the information received, this will be a huge plant, capable of producing 80 GWh of battery cells per year. This production volume will exceed 69.1 GWh of current production capacity, as well as the factory, which is under construction and will produce 77.5 GWh of battery per year.

It is likely that the location of the battery manufacturer's plant in Shanghai is due to the fact that the factory of the world's largest EV manufacturer, Tesla, is located there. Giga Shanghai already has an installed capacity of 450,000 vehicles per year and continues to expand. Tesla's China production site could potentially produce about one million vehicles per year after the planned expansion phases are over. In 2020, CATL began supplying batteries to the American manufacturer and it seems now intends to expand the cooperation.

5. 기가 상하이에서 생산되는 모델Y에 LG화학의 NCMA(Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese-Aluminum) 음극재를 활용할 계획이라고 합니다.

 

NCMA 음극에는 90% 가 니켈이며, 코발트 함량은 5% 안팎으로 알려져 있습니다. 

 

코발트를 5% 밖에 안써도 되다니, 기술이 여기까지 발전했나요? ;;;

Tesla is reportedly planning to utilize LG Chem’s 90% Nickel NCMA (Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese-Aluminum) Cathode for Model Y vehicles built at the company’s Shanghai production plant in China. The cathode is expected to begin installation in the all-electric crossover in July.

LG Chem’s NCMA cathode is composed of 90% Nickel, and trace amounts of the other elements that make up the battery. According to BusinessKorea, LG Chem has reduced its Cobalt content in the NCMA cathode by “around 5 percent.”

6. 2018~2020년 생산 모델3 와 2019~2021년 모델Y 의 안전 벨트 시스템이 잘못 부착된 고정 장치로 인해 설계대로 작동하지 않아 부상 위험이 있어 리콜 예정입니다.

 

Front Seat Belts Not Securely Attached to B-Pillar describes “an improperly attached fastener may prevent the seat belt system from performing as designed, increasing the risk of injury.” Tesla said that this applies to certain 2018-2020 Model 3s and 2019 – 2021 Model Ys.

Tesla the cause of the fastener not being properly attached to the B-Pillar:

“During assembly, if the operator could not achieve the specified torque and angle requirements while securing either fastener that secures the shoulder belt top loop to the b-pillar, then, per standard protocol, a non-conformance was generated that required subsequent manual inspection and repair of the fastener. During this inspection, the fastener may not have been confirmed to be secured to the correct specification.”
