Með því að minnka bilið við Kína hraða risar byggingu verksmiðja: bandaríski bílarafhlöðuiðnaðurinn hraðar skyndilega
Reference News Network reported on November 23 that the website of the Spanish newspaper Le Monde recently reported that batteries play a vital role in the future development of the electric vehicle industry. This has long been a well-known "secret". Big automakers are accelerating the transition to electric vehicles while leaving internal combustion engines behind. And much of that process involves controlling the production of batteries that will become the new "black gold" of the industry.
Not long ago, the two giants of the United States, Stlantis and South Korea's Samsung, signed an agreement to produce batteries in the United States, further confirming the above point of view.
Rafhlöðuverksmiðja verður reist í Bandaríkjunum árið 2025 til að ná ársframleiðsla upp á 23 gígawatt-stundir, sem gæti að lokum vaxið í 23 gígavatt-stundir á ári, samkvæmt samningi Stlantis Corp. og Samsung SDI, dótturfyrirtæki suður-kóreska tæknirisans. Hækkaðu upp í 40 gígavatt-stundir og ná markmiði um að minnsta kosti 40 prósenta söluhlutdeild rafbíla á Bandaríkjamarkaði fyrir lok 2020.
The agreement is designed to meet production needs at Stlantis' existing plants in Mexico and the United States, but the exact location of the new plant has not been publicly disclosed. The pact is also aimed at closing the gap with more advanced rivals, with Tesla bearing the brunt of it. As a leader in electric vehicles, Tesla already has three factories in operation in the United States.
"The execution of the battery plant project will allow us to be highly competitive and become a leader in the U.S. electric vehicle market," said Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stlantis, whose brands include Peugeot, Fiat, DS, Citroen, Opel, Alfa-Romeo, Lancia, Jeep, Dodge, etc.
Á sama tíma mun Samsung bæta við nýrri verksmiðju í Bandaríkjunum á heimsvísu. Samsung er nú þegar með verksmiðjur í mínu landi, Ungverjalandi og Suður-Kóreu og er sem stendur birgir BMW, Ford og Hyundai.
Samkvæmt skýrslunni hafa á undanförnum mánuðum fjöldi bandarískra risa sem hafa mjög þörf fyrir bílarafhlöður skrifað undir samning um byggingu verksmiðja. Ford í Bandaríkjunum og Sunkyung Corporation (SK) í Suður-Kóreu tilkynntu um áætlanir í lok september um að opna verksmiðjur í Kentucky og Tennessee, með fjárfestingu upp á 11,4 milljarða og sköpun 11,000 starfa.
In April, U.S. General Motors (GM) announced an agreement with South Korea's LG New Energy to build a second battery plant in the U.S. with an investment of 2.3 billion that is expected to create 1,300 jobs. "I believe this alliance goes beyond partnership as it marks a watershed in the future that will reduce emissions and accelerate the rollout of electric vehicles," said GM CEO Mary Barra.
This swift shift is in America's interest and will close the huge gap between it and our country in this area. Currently, the Asian giant controls three-quarters of global battery production. Even Japanese and Korean brands are shifting some of their production to my country because conditions in the Chinese market are more favorable.
The report commented that an integral part of the green policy agenda proposed by the US government is to reverse the above situation. The US government will encourage investment in battery production with the aim of positioning the US as the world leader in clean energy production. One of its key goals is to make half of all vehicles sold in the world's leading automaker electric vehicles.
Wall Street er einnig staðfastlega trú á breytingum. Upphafleg útboð (IPO) sumra sprotafyrirtækja sem vinna að rafhlöðuframleiðslu hafa staðfest mikinn áhuga fjárfesta. Silicon Valley-undirstaða SilaNanotechnologies fékk mikið innrennsli af Wall Street fjármögnun (590 milljónir) fyrr á þessu ári og RomeoPower, sem var opinbert á síðasta ári, er að þróa litíum-rafhlöðutækni í Kaliforníu.
Quantum Technologies, sem byggir- í San Jose, Kaliforníu, studd af mönnum eins og Volkswagen og Bill Gates, verður annar stór leikmaður til að fylgjast með. Í Bandaríkjunum er uppsveifla í rafknúnum ökutækjum í uppsiglingu. (Þjóðstjóri / Liu Lifei)
