China Greenlights Another Big Tesla Factory, This Time For Megapack Project
Deliveries from the new factory will reportedly start by the first quarter of 2025. Tesla first announced plans to manufacture 10,000 Megapacks in a year in China, equalling about 40 gigawatts of energy storage, in April 2023. EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has reportedly received approval from the Office of the Management Committee of Lingang New Area, China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, for its new megafactory project.
据报道，电动汽车巨头特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）的新大型工厂项目已获得中国（上海）自由贸易试验区临港新区管理委员会办公室的批准。
What Happened: The project is located in Nanhui New Town, Pudong New Area, and will cover over 204,000 square meters, local media platform Pandaily reported on Thursday. Tesla currently has only one megafactory, located in Lathrop, California.
发生了什么：当地媒体平台Pandaily周四报道，该项目位于浦东新区南汇新城，将占地超过20.4万平方米。特斯拉目前只有一家位于加利福尼亚州拉斯罗普的大型工厂。
A Megapack is a powerful stationary battery that stabilizes the grid. Each unit can store over 3.9 MWh of energy or enough to power an average of 3600 homes for one hour, according to Tesla.
Megapack 是一种强大的固定电池，可以稳定电网。根据特斯拉的数据，每个单元可以储存超过3.9兆瓦时的能量，足以为3600户家庭平均供电一小时。
Deliveries from the new factory will reportedly start by the first quarter of 2025. Tesla first announced plans to manufacture 10,000 Megapacks in a year in China, equalling about 40 gigawatts of energy storage, in April 2023.
据报道，新工厂的交付将于2025年第一季度开始。2023年4月，特斯拉首次宣布计划在中国每年生产1万个兆瓦的储能，相当于约40千兆瓦的储能。
Why It Matters: Last month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the demand for its stationary energy storage products is "super high" and hinted that the company might make more batteries for energy storage than cars in the long term.
为何重要：上个月，特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克表示，对其固定储能产品的需求 “非常高”，并暗示从长远来看，该公司生产的储能电池可能比汽车多。
In the first quarter of 2024, Tesla deployed 4,053 MWh of energy storage products, representing its highest quarterly deployment to date and a year-on-year increase of 4.2%.
在2024年第一季度，特斯拉部署了4,053兆瓦时的储能产品，这是其迄今为止最高的季度部署，同比增长4.2％。
In January, the company expressed expectations for the growth rate of deployment and revenue in the energy storage business in 2024 to surpass that of the automotive sector.
1月，该公司表示预计储能业务的部署和收入增长率将在2024年超过汽车行业。
Tesla acknowledged that deployments may be subject to volatility and impacted by logistics and global product distribution. Nevertheless, it remains optimistic about continued growth on a 12-month basis.
特斯拉承认，部署可能会受到波动的影响，并受到物流和全球产品分销的影响。尽管如此，它仍然对12个月的持续增长持乐观态度。
The EV giant already operates a 4.5-million-square-foot facility in China, Giga Shanghai, which produces the popular Model 3 and Model Y SUVs and rolled out its 2-millionth vehicle in September last year.
这家电动汽车巨头已经在中国运营着占地450万平方英尺的工厂，即Giga Shanghai，该工厂生产广受欢迎的Model 3和Model Y SUV，并于去年9月推出了其第200万辆汽车。
The move also comes amid Tesla's largest layoffs, which has also significantly affected its Chinese workforce.
此举也是在特斯拉进行最大规模的裁员之际采取的，这也严重影响了其中国员工。
