From battery modules and packs to distributed liquid cooling systems, mechanical structures, enclosures, electronics, battery management systems (BMS), control units, and inverters – the X1 gigafactory offers a uniquely integrated battery manufacturing ecosystem in Europe. The facility has an annual production capacity of 3 GWh.
