戴姆勒集團今天正式宣佈要建一座電池超級工廠來推動他們的電動車計劃
預計在2022年時將會有10種車型
而打頭陣的 EQ SUV 將會在2018年年中上市
根據去年的消息，戴姆勒將會在這座工廠投資五億歐元
戴姆勒找了一些大頭們來參加開幕典禮，包括德國總理梅克爾
他們沒有公布這座工廠的細節，但預計年產量應該會在GWh級別，會招募約1000名員工
除了這間工廠之外
戴姆勒也跟韓國電池製造商 SK Innovation 合作
該公司最近才宣布要將電池的年產量往上推升至4GWh
=================== 與Tesla Gigafactory 的比較 ======================
Tesla 的第一座 Gigafactory 投資金額大約是50億美元
預計2018年可生產50GWh的電池組，整體完工後可年產150GWh的電池組

During the 2016 Shareholders Meeting today, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced
that the company could triple the total planned battery output of the
Gigafactory to ~105 GWh of cells and ~150 GWh of battery packs )
而在紐約水牛城的 Gigafactory 2 (這是原先Solarcity的工廠，主要生產太陽能電池)
預計在2019年時年產量為1GW
今年底將會宣布 Gigafactory 3、4 ( or 5) 的地點
Gigafactory 3 應該就是在歐洲了

Daimler unveils its own new battery Gigafactory for electric vehicles
Daimler is among one of the few major automakers with aggressive
all-electric vehicle plans. The German automaker recently announced
acceleration of electric car plans by 3 years and that they will spend
$11 billion on 10 models by 2022.
They are backing this up with a new battery factory, which they
officially unveiled today.
The German automaker produces its own battery packs through its
ACCUmotive subsidiary and last year, they announced an important €500
million investment in a new battery factory in Kamenz, Germany.
The inauguration was a big deal today attended by Federal Chancellor Dr.
Angela Merkel and Stanislaw Tillich (Minister President of Saxony), who,
together with Dieter Zetsche (Chairman of the Board of Daimler AG and
Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars), Markus Schäfer (Member of the Divisional
Board of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Production and Supply Chain), Frank Deiss
(Head of Powertrain Production and Site Manager Mercedes-Benz Plant Untert
ürkheim) and Frank Blome (Managing Director Deutsche Accumotive GmbH &
Co. KG), laid the casing of a vehicle battery as the foundation stone.
They didn’t confirm the capacity of the plant, but it is expected to be
in the gigawatt-hour range and it will employ over 1,000 workers.
Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche said about the new factory:
“The automotive industry is facing a fundamental transformation and we
see ourselves as the driving force behind this change. The battery
factory in Kamenz is an important component in the implementation of our
electric offensive. By 2022, we will have more than ten purely electric
passenger cars in series. We also continue to drive forward the
hybridization of our fleet. Under the EQ brand, we are creating a
holistic ecosystem for e-mobility.”
It will officially go into operation in mid-2018 just in time for Mercedes
’ first all-electric vehicle built from the ground up, Mercedes’ new ‘
EQ’ SUV.
Daimler also has several other electric vehicle programs, like it’s
all-electric Urban eTruck and it is currently building 1,500 all-electric
Mercedes-Benz vans for Germany’s largest independent logistic firm.
The German automaker is not only counting on its own subsidiary for
battery supply. They also partnered with Korea-based battery manufacturer
SK Innovation, which recently announced a doubling of its battery
production for electric vehicles to 4GWh/year to support demand from
Mercedes and others.
