全球产能最大的电池供应商中国宁德时代新能源科技有限公司（CATL）已开启新的电池生产阶段，据称能够每秒生产一颗电池。

宁德时代是特斯拉、梅赛德斯-奔驰、宝马等品牌的主要电池供应商，之所以能取得如此惊人的速度，得益于其位于中国贵州西南部贵安新区的动力和储能基地的高度自动化生产线。 该公司在一份新闻稿中表示。

其新制造工厂占地 0.36 平方英里（0.95 平方公里），分两期建设，计划年总产能为 60 吉瓦时——耗资 9.6 亿美元的第一期已投入运营，年产能为 30 吉瓦时。 GWh动力和储能电池。

由于自动化程度高达 95%，它不仅可以每秒生产一颗锂离子电池，而且还可以在短短 2.5 分钟内组装整个电池组。生产单个电池和电池组的平均时间尚不清楚，但无论如何，在如此短的时间内将如此高密度的电池组装在一起听起来令人印象深刻。

考虑到宁德时代的运营规模，可能没有理由对这些说法表示怀疑。我们对电动汽车销量数据的分析显示，宁德时代在 2023 年前六个月是迄今为止全球最大的汽车电池供应商，在 2023 年1 月至 6 月期间部署了近 93 吉瓦时的电池。

到今年年底，CATL 的装机量可能会达到 200 GWh，领先于 LG Solution、比亚迪、松下、SK On 等竞争对手。新的生产设施可能会增强其优势，并有可能通过增加供应来帮助加快客户的电动汽车生产率。

CATL’s New Factory Can Produce One Cell Per Second, Battery Pack In 2.5 Minutes

The first phase of the new facility is claimed to be highly automated and flexible.

China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), the world’s largest battery supplier by capacity, has opened a new battery production phase claimed to be capable of manufacturing one cell per second.

CATL, a major battery supplier to brands like Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and many others, was able to achieve this blistering pace thanks to a highly automated production line at its power and energy storage base in Guian New District in China’s southwestern Guizhou province, the company said in a press release.

Its new manufacturing facility is spread over 0.36 square miles (0.95 square kilometers) and is being built in two phases with a planned combined annual capacity of 60 gigawatt-hours – the $960 million first phase is already operational and has an annual production capacity of 30 GWh of power and energy storage batteries.

Thanks to 95 percent automation, not only can it produce one lithium-ion battery cell per second, but it can also assemble an entire battery pack in just 2.5 minutes. The average time for producing individual cells and battery packs is unclear, but irrespective of that, putting such high-density batteries together in such a short time sounds impressive.

Provided the scale of CATL’s operations, there’s probably no reason to be skeptical of these claims. CATL was by far the largest automotive cell supplier worldwide in the first six months of 2023, deploying almost 93-gigawatt hours between January and June 2023, our analysis of EV Volumes data showed.

It’s possible that CATL might end up deploying 200 GWh by the end of the year, ahead of competitors like LG Solution, BYD, Panasonic, SK On, and others. The new production facility is likely to bolster its advantage, and potentially help accelerate EV production rate for its customers with increased supply.
