特斯拉新的上海超级工厂开始出口储能电池
SHANGHAI, March 21 (Xinhua) -- Tesla's new Megafactory in Shanghai in east China on Friday exported its first batch of Megapack energy-storage batteries, the company announced.
It took the new Megafactory just over a month after its production launch to achieve its first export, with the batteries being transported from Shanghai Port to Australia.
新的Megafactory在投产一个多月后就实现了首次出口，电池从上海港运往澳大利亚。
This export highlights Tesla's further expansion in the global energy storage market, and also underlines the extension of its battery technology from electric vehicles to energy storage, according to the company.
Megapacks produced at the Shanghai facility will supply both the domestic and Asia-Pacific markets.
上海工厂生产的Megapack储能电池将供应国内和亚太市场。
Megapack is an electrochemical energy storage device that uses lithium batteries -- a dominant technical route in the new-type energy storage industry.
