U-Elon Musk umi kwindawo yokwakha yeTesla Gigafactory eGrünheide kufutshane neBerlin.UPatrick Pleul / dpa-Zentralbild / ZB (Ifoto nguPatrick Pleul / umfelandawonye womfanekiso ngeGetty Images Ngo-Lwesibini emva kwemini, u-Elon Musk uthathe iqonga e-Tesla's Fremont, Calif.imveliso ukuvula indawo ekudala ilindelwe Umnyhadala woMhla webhetri, apho i-CEO bekulindeleke ukuba yabelane ngophuhliso lwakutsha nje kumaziko okuvelisa ibhetri angaphakathi endlwini, luhlobo luni lweebhetri ezizayo ezenziwa yinkampani-kwaye inokuba yimoto entsha.
Mkhulu, kodwa ngexabiso eliphantsi, iiseli zebhetri
UTesla uvule ingxoxo malunga nokuveliswa kwebhetri ngesithembiso esinesibindi sokuba unesicwangciso sokunciphisa iindleko ngeyure nganye yekota (kWh), eyona metric iphambili echaphazela iindleko zokugqibela zezithuthi zombane.
Inkampani ke ityhila iseli yebhetri enkulu, ebizwa ngokuba yi-4680. Iseli entsha inoyilo olungenamathebhu, athe uMusk waphawula ukuba ngumngeni oguqukayo. inamandla aphindwe kahlanu, amandla aphindwe kathandathu, iipesenti ezili-15 ngaphezulu kuluhlu lokuqhuba kuneeseli zangoku zePanasonic 2170 ezisetyenziswe kwiModeli 3 kunye neMowudi Y.
Ubume obuhlengahlengisiweyo kunye nobungakanani beseli yebhetri iyodwa iya kunciphisa iindleko nge-kWh nganye ngepesenti ye-14, utshilo u-Andrew Baglino, intloko kaTesla wePowertrain kunye ne-Energy Engineering, ojoyine uMusk eqongeni.
Iseli 4680 sele ikwimveliso kumzi mveliso wokulinga eFremont. UMusk uqikelela ukuba kuyakuthatha malunga nonyaka ukuba uTesla afikelele kwithagethi yomthamo we-10 weGigawatt kumzi-mveliso webhetri.
‘Umsebenzi wobugcisa’
Injongo yokugqibela kaTesla kukufikelela kwimveliso yebhetri yeTerawatt-iyure (TWh). UTera uthetha i-trillion, eyi-1 000 yamaxesha eGiga. UTera yiGiga entsha, utshilo uMusk kwinqanaba.
Ukubeka amanani ngendlela efanelekileyo, kuthatha malunga nezixhobo ezili-135 ezilingana neTesla's Nevada Gigafactory ukuvelisa amandla angama-20 eTerawatts ngonyaka, engeyiyo kakhulu. Ke, ukufezekisa loo njongo uTesla uyakufuna ukwakha iifektri ngokukhawuleza.
Oko akuthethi ukuba kwakhiwa amakhulu eGigafactories, nangona kunjalo, kuba uTesla unokufumana imveliso ethe kratya kwisithuba esincinci kuneGiga Nevada, ngokwembono yevolumu, ucacisile uMusk.
Okwangoku, uTesla uza kusebenzisa ababoneleli beseli bebhetri ngoku njengoko inyusa amandla emveliso yangaphakathi endlwini. Iinjongo zexesha elifutshane kukufikelela kwi-100 GWh ngo-2022 kunye no-3 TWh ngonyaka ngonyaka wama-2030.
Eli nqanaba lokusebenza kwefektri, ngokudityaniswa nomthamo webhetri entsha, liya kunciphisa iindleko nge-kWh nganye ngeepesenti ezingama-32.
Olunye uQeqesho lokuNcitshiswa kweNdleko
Njengenxalenye yendibano yebhetri yangaphakathi endlwini, uTesla uza kwakha umzi-mveliso we-cathode eMntla Melika. Kukwalingwa umzi mveliso wokurisayikilisha ngokupheleleyo kwikota elandelayo eGiga Nevada.
Ukwenza lula ukuveliswa kwebhetri, ukulahlwa okukodwa kubalulekile. I-Tesla iya kufuna ukuphuhlisa i-alloy yayo ngaphandle kokunyanga ukushisa okanye ukugqoka.
UMusk uthe iibhetri zeTesla ziya kuba yinxalenye yemoto, kanye njengokuba amaphiko eenqwelo-moya nawo esebenza njengeetanki zepetroli, eziza kwenza ubunzima bebhetri bube mbi.
Ngazo zonke ezi zinto zintsha, iTesla inokunciphisa iindleko nge-kWh nganye ngama-56 eepesenti, inyuse uluhlu nge-precent engama-54 kwaye isike iindleko zotyalo-mali kwi-GWh nganye ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezingama-69.
Izithuthi ezingama-20 ezigidi ngonyaka
UMusk uthe ukuphumelela kobuchwephesha bebhetri kuya kuvumela uTesla ukuba enze iimoto ezininzi kunye nokugcina okuninzi okumileyo. Injongo yakhe yexesha elide kukwenza iimoto ezizizigidi ezingama-20 ngonyaka, kunye neyona ndlela ifikelelekayo eqala kwi- $ 25,000 nje.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, uTesla wenza iimoto ezingama-367,500 kuzo zonke iimodeli. Kulo nyaka, ijolise ekuhambiseni iimoto ezinesiqingatha sesigidi.
