Now Bloomberg is out with a similar report corroborating some Reuters’ previous claims.
In an interview, CATL Chairman Zeng Yuqun said that the company is now ready to produce its new million-mile battery cell:
“Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL) is ready to produce a battery that lasts 16 years and 2 million kilometres (1.24 million miles), chairman Zeng Yuqun said in an interview at company headquarters in Ningde, in southeast China’s Fujian province.”
The chairman added:
“If someone places an order, we are ready to produce,”
However, he didn’t confirm that orders have been placed, but Bloomberg reported that the battery will first end up in Tesla vehicles produced at Gigafactory Shanghai.
The chairman did confirm that he is in constant communication with Tesla and CEO Elon Musk directly:
“Zeng said he often shares insights with Musk, with the two exchanging text messages about developments in technology and business. CATL is strengthening its relationship with Tesla, with matters such as cobalt-free batteries on their agenda, Zeng said.”
Zeng added:
“We’re getting along well and he’s a fun guy. He’s talking about cost all day long, and I’m making sure we have the solutions.”
They didn’t elaborate on the exact timeline of the new batteries being installed in new Tesla vehicles.
