Nu när Tesla vill rampa upp 4680 tillverkningen så säkerställer man att de ha tillräckligt med råvaror.
Tesla inks new nickel supply deal, inches closer to 4680 battery cell mass production.
Tesla’s goal of mass-producing its 4680 battery cells recently took a significant step forward on Wednesday, when New Caledonian miner Prony Resources announced that the EV maker had agreed to purchase 42,000 tonnes of nickel in a multi-year deal. Nickel is a key material that Tesla needs for its high-powered batteries, such as the 4680 cells that are currently in pilot production at the company’s Kato Road facility in Fremont, California.
In a statement, Prony noted that it is aiming to produce 44,000 tonnes of nickel by 2024, effectively doubling its estimated 2021 output. During a news conference, Antonin Beurrier, Prony’s chief executive, confirmed that Tesla is now the mining company’s largest client to date. While he did not specify any details of Prony’s deal with Tesla, Beurrier did state that the 42,000-tonne volume for the EV maker was indicative and could vary.
Jag tror att en stor anledning till Teslas batteridag den 22 september 2020 var att man ville förhandla ner priset på batteriköp.
Electric Viking gör bedömningen att av Teslas behov av ca 135GWh batterier under 2022, så kanske bara 10GWh kommer från egen 4680 produktion.

StoreDot pratar om 4680 batterier som kan ladda snabbt.
As Electrek previously reported, StoreDot announced in early September that it produced the first 4680 cylindrical cell that it claims can charge in only 10 minutes.
