Samsung SDI to convert Indiana plant line for Tesla Megapack batteries

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Samsung SDI is reportedly converting an existing battery production line at its Kokomo, Indiana plant, a joint venture with Stellantis, to exclusively manufacture batteries for Tesla's Megapack energy storage systems. This repurposed line will utilize lithium iron phosphate technology to produce higher-capacity 300Ah cells, with production slated to begin in the second quarter of 2027. The report also touches on the fluctuating lithium market, with price drops influenced by expected supply increases from Jiangxi and Zimbabwe, and a positive outlook for new energy vehicle production and exports in the latter half of the year.
