Gigafactories are simply the answer to this incredible and continuously increasing demand for batteries that Evan was mentioning. And why is it so? First of all, it’s their capacity to supply what we call gigascale. Since I joined the company three years ago, we have continuously been revising our plan upward.
Organizations can ensure their gigafactories—and the vital data contained within—remain secure, by design and with associated operational cybersecurity services offered alongside. But this isn’t all we offer. Siemens and Capgemini are providing even more to battery companies in terms of key capabilities.
Meeting that demand will require more gigafactories to be built at speed and scale. As economies move toward more sustainable transport options, more electric vehicles (EVs) are rolling off production lines than ever before. These vehicles need to be powered by lithium batteries, which are built in specialist facilities called gigafactories.
Now, the projection into 2025 and beyond is over 3,000 gigawatt hours per year, or basically 100 times that need, and it’s all because industrial growth and product growth will need these batteries to really drive it. The gigafactories themselves are front and center of this impressive industrialization needed.
The research also revealed that the US stands out as a top location for gigafactories – large-scale manufacturing facilities for batteries and component parts.
