On March 30, Tesla was reported to be in talks with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL) regarding plans to build a battery factory in the U.S., according to sources familiar with the matter.
The two companies are considering Texas as a possible building site, but the location has not yet been finalized.
Tesla’s senior global director of public policy, Rohan Patel, has been discussing CATL-related plans with the White House in recent days, seeking clarity on the Inflation Reduction Act rules, according to the people.
One specific rule that has been the object of intense lobbying is 30D, which is designed to withhold consumer tax credits for EVs made with a certain amount of China-linked materials in their batteries.
Tesla wants to pursue a deal similar to the lithium iron phosphate battery deal Ford announced for Marshall, Michigan in February, whereby Tesla will own and operate the plant, with licensed technology from CATL.
