(Reuters) – Tesla is expanding its battery facility in Sparks, Nevada to bring the supply chain for cheaper lithium iron phosphate batteries (LFP) to the United States, a Bloomberg News reporter said in a post on social media platform X on Wednesday.
The electric automaker will buy equipment to make batteries from its Chinese supplier China’s Contemporary Ameperex Technology Limited, the post said, adding that the plant will have a preliminary capacity of about 10 gigawatt hours.
