Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has officially started production at its Shanghai battery megafactory, dedicated to manufacturing its high-capacity Megapack energy storage systems, according to China’s state news agency, Xinhua.
The facility, first announced in April 2023, marks Tesla’s continued expansion in China, the world’s largest electric vehicle and energy storage market. Located in Shanghai’s Lingang Free Trade Zone, the plant aims to bolster global energy storage capacity by producing 10,000 Megapacks annually, equivalent to 40 GWh of energy storage. These lithium-ion battery units are designed for large-scale commercial and utility projects, helping stabilize power grids and support renewable energy integration.
Tesla’s Shanghai factory is the company’s first dedicated energy storage plant outside the U.S., complementing its California-based Megafactory. By leveraging China’s advanced supply chain and manufacturing efficiencies, Tesla aims to reduce production costs and accelerate deployment worldwide. The move also aligns with China’s push for clean energy and energy storage solutions to enhance grid stability and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
The Megapack has gained significant traction as businesses and utilities seek scalable storage solutions for renewable energy projects. Tesla’s energy division has seen growing demand, contributing to the company’s broader strategy of expanding beyond electric vehicles into the sustainable energy sector.
Tesla’s investment in China underscores its long-term commitment to the region, where it also operates Gigafactory Shanghai, the company’s largest EV production hub. The launch of Megapack production in Shanghai positions Tesla to capture a larger share of the rapidly growing global energy storage market while strengthening its footprint in China’s renewable energy sector.
