Tesla’s energy storage Megafactory in Shanghai has kicked off trial production, marking a major milestone in global clean energy collaboration 🌍. The plant—Tesla’s second facility in the city—will produce Megapacks, the company’s large-scale batteries designed to store renewable energy. Mass production is set to ramp up fully by early 2025, with an initial yearly output of 10,000 units (≈40 gigawatt-hours of storage).
The $198.7 million project, sprawling over 200,000 square meters in Shanghai’s Lin-gang Special Area, signals Tesla’s growing confidence in the Chinese mainland’s innovation ecosystem 🤝. Researcher Wu Qisheng called it a “win for U.S.-China climate cooperation,” highlighting strengthened economic ties in clean tech.
With global demand for renewables skyrocketing, this Megafactory could become a linchpin in decarbonizing energy grids—proving that cross-border partnerships are key to fighting climate change 🔋🌱.
