Tesla has commenced operations at its lithium refining factory in Texas, the first large-scale lithium refinery in the U.S., utilizing an innovative acid-free refining method.
This investment is critical to our mission to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy and represents our efforts to aggressively increase the supply of battery-grade lithium hydroxide available in North America.
Expected to produce around 50 GWh of battery-grade lithium annually, this facility highlights Tesla's commitment to electric vehicle battery production and sustainability.
The refinery is part of broader efforts to reduce North America's reliance on China for EV battery mineral processing, with future plants planned across the U.S.
