Thank you for mentioning the kind of battery and city. These shitty headlines need to go.

    Totally normal flag size.

    So it sounds like their current factory can produce 100 MWh of sodium ion batteries per year, and the new factory in Sacramento is expected to produce 40 times as much, 4 GWh per year.

    Plus if they can line up American producers of cells, that should buy a certain amount of supply chain resilience against political shenanigans.
