Tesla to build Shanghai factory to make Megapack batteries [View all]

Rumors of another one for Europe. Megapacks allow utilities to store excess wind and solar energy for times of peak demand.

Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) is opening a factory in Shanghai, capable of producing ten thousand Megapack energy product per year, to supplement output of Megapack factory in California, the company said in a tweet on Sunday.

(edit)

Elon Musk's automaker will break ground on the plant in the third quarter and start production in the second quarter of 2024, Xinhua reported from a signing ceremony in Shanghai.
