New Model 3 battery energy density increased to 82kWh

A German customs declaration document shows that the battery pack capacity of the declaration product model 3 is 82kWh. According to people familiar with the matter, this is the 2021 Model 3 declaration information issued by Tesla in advance to European consumers. Tesla recommends that car owners register in advance to ensure that vehicle delivery can proceed smoothly. Some car owners said that the Model 3 they bought will not be mentioned until the end of November or December. Caijing.com Auto contacted Tesla related persons regarding the above news, but no response was received as of the time of press. Caijing.com Automobile noticed that the battery capacity of 82kWh is increased by 5% compared to the previous version, which is consistent with the 5% increase in the energy density of the new battery that Panasonic previously announced. In August of this year, Panasonic officials told Nikkei that they would invest 100 million U.S. dollars in the Tesla Super Factory in Nevada to build a new battery processing line. After completion, the output of the No. 1 Super Factory will increase by 10%. The energy density of the core is increased by 5%. In early November, a Panasonic executive revealed that after the Tesla Battery Day announced the new battery 4680, Panasonic began preparations for the construction of a prototype processing line for this battery cell. Tesla’s 4680 battery launched at the “Battery Day” event at the end of September has an energy density that is 500% higher than that of the current battery, output power can be increased by 600%, cruising range increased by 16%, and cost reduced by 14%. Obviously it will arrive soon. The 82kWh battery mounted on the German Model 3 does not meet the above-mentioned performance. It is worth noting that while Tesla launched a high-profile 4680 and low-profile update of the battery energy density to 82kWh, on November 7th, the domestic new energy vehicle company NIO announced a new battery with a 100kWh energy density. According to the official Weilai, the battery is jointly developed by the Weilai team and Ningde Times, and is expected to be delivered in December this year. At the end of 2018, on the basis of the original 70kWh battery, NIO launched the service of upgrading to 84kWh battery. The domestically produced Model 3 has been using ternary lithium batteries processed by LG Chem since it was put into production. CATL is expected to supply lithium iron phosphate batteries for it in the second half of the year. At that time, the processing cost of this model is expected to drop further.
