The release will begin this year.
South Korean company LG Chem plans to start producing batteries for Tesla electric vehicles at a plant in South Korea this year. The plans are related to the fact that the American manufacturer of electric vehicles increased orders to cope with the growing demand. This was reported to Reuters by an informant familiar with the issue.
LG Chem will produce batteries for Tesla in South Korea
“Tesla is asking not only LG Chem but also other suppliers to increase supplies, as the cars sell well,” the agency quoted him as saying.
A second person familiar with the situation also said that LG Chem is shifting some of its capacity in South Korea to the production of batteries for Tesla. The LG Chem factory in Nanjing, China, already produces batteries for Tesla.
Both sources spoke on the condition of anonymity, referring to the confidentiality of the issue.
