Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Contemporary Amperex Technology Thuringia GmbH (“CATT”), ka hale hana mua a CATL ma waho o Kina, i ka hana nui ʻana o nā cell pākahiko lithium-ion ma mua o kēia mahina e like me ka mea i hoʻonohonoho ʻia, e hōʻailona ana i kahi hanana koʻikoʻi i ka hoʻomohala ʻoihana honua o CATL.

Ua ʻōwili ʻia ka pūʻulu mua o nā cell pākahi lithium-ion i hana nui ʻia mai ka laina hana ma ka hale G2 o CATT. Ua hoʻomaka ʻia ke kau ʻana a me ke kauoha ʻana o nā laina i koe no ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hana.

 

Ua hala nā cell i hana hou ʻia i nā hoʻokolohua āpau i koi ʻia e CATL ma luna o kāna huahana honua, ʻo ia hoʻi, hiki iā CATL ke hana a hoʻolako i nā cell no kāna mau mea kūʻai aku ʻEulopa mai ka hale hana ma Kelemania.

"Ke hōʻike nei ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hana ʻana ua mālama mākou i kā mākou ʻōlelo hoʻohiki i kā mākou mea kūʻai aku ma ke ʻano he hoa hilinaʻi o ka ʻoihana a ke kūpaʻa nei mākou i ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka e-mobility o ʻEulopa ʻoiai ma lalo o nā kūlana paʻakikī e like me ka maʻi ahulau," wahi a Matthias Zentgraf, ka pelekikena o CATL no ʻEulopa.

"Ke hana nui nei mākou e hoʻonui i ka hana ʻana i ka mana piha, ʻo ia kā mākou mea nui no ka makahiki e hiki mai ana," i hoʻohui ai ʻo ia.

I ʻApelila o kēia makahiki, ua ʻae ʻia ʻo CATT i ka palapala ʻae no ka hana ʻana i nā kelepona pila e ka mokuʻāina ʻo Thuringia, ka mea e ʻae ana i ka mana mua o 8 GWh i kēlā me kēia makahiki.

I ka hapaha ʻekolu o 2021, ua hoʻomaka ʻo CATT i ka hana ʻana o nā modula ma kona hale G1.

Me ka huina hoʻopukapuka kālā a hiki i ka €1.8 biliona, loaʻa iā CATT kahi mana hana i hoʻolālā ʻia he 14GWh a hoʻolālā e hāʻawi i nā kamaʻāina kūloko i 2,000 mau hana.

E loaʻa iā ia ʻelua mau hale hana nui: ʻo G1, kahi mea hana i kūʻai ʻia mai kahi hui ʻē aʻe e hōʻuluʻulu i nā cell i loko o nā modula, a me G2, kahi mea hana hou e hana i nā cell.

Ua hoʻomaka ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ka hale hana i ka makahiki 2019, a ua hoʻomaka ka hana ʻana o nā modula cell ma ka hale hana G1 i ka hapaha ʻekolu o 2021.

I ʻApelila o kēia makahiki, ua loaʻa i ka hale hana kahi laikini no8 GWh o ka mana o ke keleponano ka hale hana G2.

Ma waho aʻe o ka hale hana ma Kelemania, ua hoʻolaha ʻo CATL ma ʻAukake 12 e kūkulu ia i kahi kahua hana pākahiko hou ma Hungary, ʻo ia ka lua o kāna hale hana ma ʻEulopa a e hana i nā cell a me nā modula no nā mea hana kaʻa ʻEulopa.
