    Default Tesla Gigafactory Berlin finally reaches goal of 5,000 electric cars a week.

    Tesla Gigafactory Berlin finally reaches goal of 5,000 electric cars a week

    Tesla Gigafactory Berlin has finally reached its goal to produce 5,000 electric cars in a single week, which is considered achieving “volume production.”
    When ramping up a new vehicle to volume production at a new factory, Tesla generally considers 5,000 units per week to be the goal.
    After starting production late in 2021, Tesla originally aimed to achieve that at Gigafactory Berlin by the end of 2022.
    But the goal was ambitious amid a continuing global supply chain crisis.
    Instead, Tesla announced that it finished the year with a respectable production rate of 3,000 Model Y vehicles per week at Gigafactory Berlin.
    At the end of February, the factory reached a new milestone of 4,000 units per week.
    Now just a month later, Tesla Gigafactory Berlin has managed to produce 5,000 Model Y vehicles in a single week.
    Tesla confirmed the achievement with a tweet:
    The factory appears to have beaten Gigafactory Texas to the important milestone.
    If it can maintain this newly achieved production rate, it would mean Gigafactory Berlin can produce over 250,000 vehicles per year.
    What’s interesting is that Tesla is now approved to produce 500,000 vehicles per year out of the factory, and now that it has achieved its goal with Model Y production, Tesla is expected to add a new model to Gigafactory Berlin’s lineup.
    Originally, Model 3 was supposed to be next, but Tesla hasn’t commented on the plan in a long time.
    Furthermore, Tesla recently submitted an application to the authorities to expand production at Gigafactory Berlin to 1 million vehicles per year. This expansion is going to require further development of the factory’s footprint, and the company needs to obtain environmental approval before going forward.
    Tesla’s future production lines to be deployed are expected to feature Tesla’s new unboxed manufacturing process unveiled at Investor Day earlier this month.

    Electrek’s Take
    Congrats to everyone involved. Achieving 5,000 vehicles per week just about a year after starting production is impressive.
    To put things into perspective, Tesla has a bigger production capacity for long-range electric vehicles at Gigafactory Berlin than most legacy automakers have overall. And it’s just Tesla’s latest of four Gigafactories producing electric vehicles.
    It’s hard to beat Tesla when it comes to deploying electric vehicle production capacity.

    So while Russia and China get cozy "...cooperating in energy and food security..." emphasis on energy, idiots around the globe are focused on making EVs. Fossil fuels build economies.

    Waymo Replaces Hybrid Vans With All-Electric Autonomous Ride-Hail Fleet
    Customers in Phoenix's East Valley can access the fully electric fleet starting in April.
    Autonomous vehicle operator Waymo is going all-in on EVs. The Alphabet subsidiary will phase out the plug-in hybrid Chrysler Pacifica minivans it's been using for six years and replace them with all-electric Jaguar I-Pace SUVs.
    By the end of April, ride-hail customers in Phoenix's East Valley (primarily Chandler, Tempe, and Mesa, Arizona) will be able to access a fully electric fleet, which runs on the fifth-generation Waymo Driver AI platform.

    Lots of companies are getting electric fleets. The geniuses on this board will claim they are heading for disaster. They apparently think the companies did not do their homework. They went through it all and they know they will save a lot of money and pollute a lot less.

    Inexpensive and environmentally friendly mechanochemical recycling process recovers 70% of lithium from batteries

    A recycling method developed by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) recovers up to 70% of lithium from battery waste without corrosive chemicals, high temperatures, and prior sorting of materials being required. The method combines mechanical processes with chemical reactions and enables inexpensive, energy-efficient, and environmentally compatible recycling of any type of lithium-ion battery. The results are reported in Communications Chemistry.

    Lithium-ion batteries are omnipresent in our life. They are not only used for the wireless power supply of notebooks, smartphones, toys, remote controls, and other small devices, but also are the most important energy storage systems for the rapidly growing electric mobility sector. Increasing use of these batteries eventually results in the need for economically and ecologically sustainable recycling methods.

    BrightDrop signs Ryder as customer, starts first Zevo 600 deliveries

    BrightDrop, the electric delivery van subsidiary of General Motors, has signed on supply chain logistics company Ryder as a new customer. Ryder plans to add 4,000 BrightDrop EVs to their rental and lease fleet through 2025.
    The nabbing of yet another big commercial customer comes as BrightDrop demonstrates its ability to deliver EVs at scale. The company said Monday it has started to ship over 500 of its Zevo 600 delivery vans, which are built at the high-volume CAMI Assembly manufacturing facility in Ontario, Canada.
    For comparison, Rivian, one of BrightDrop's commercial competitors, has already delivered around 3,000 electric vans to Amazon, according to the e-commerce giant's blog. By 2030, Amazon hopes to bring 100,000 Rivian delivery vehicles to the roads. In Rivian's its fourth quarter earnings report, the EV-maker set a goal of producing 50,000 units this year, but those won't all be delivery vans. Rivian also produces the R1S pickup truck and R1T SUV.
    With all the backing of GM, BrightDrop reckons it can do better. The company started production at CAMI in December, when it announced DHL Express Canada its first Canadian customer. BrightDrop says it is on track to produce 50,000 Zevo vans annually by 2025, with production scheduled to ramp throughout the year.
    The company, which already sold out of 2023 model year Zevo 600s, will have to meet those high unit numbers in order to appease its over 30 commercial customers. At GM's investor day in November, BrightDrop reported it had received more than 25,000 reservations and letters of intent from customers, including FedEx, Walmart, Hertz, WasteNot Compost and more.
