If any cars are mobile phones with wheels, it’s electric cars. And just as the switch from landline phones to mobile phones was quick, and from computers to smartphones was even quicker, the shift from engines to motors, from internal combustion cars to electric cars, is starting to gain momentum and when it reaches scale, it will happen quickly.

How quickly? Pandemic aside, Tesla would be on track to sell half a million cars in 2020, all of them electric. By contrast, GM sold almost 3 million cars last year, almost none of them electric. But by 2025 or so, GM plans to sell a million electric cars, a year that the company plans to be its tipping point toward electrics.

Of course, to do that, you need amazing batteries, and an amazing capacity to produce batteries—both of which are at the heart of the company’s plans. A new GM battery factory, in partnership with LG Chem, will dwarf Tesla’s Gigafactory and power, pun intended, its drive, pun again intended, to that 2025 goal of a million electric cars.

How to massively expand manufacturing while saving the Earth. If you thought Tesla's Gigafactory was big, wait till you hear this!

Last week, Tesla was approved to begin production in China.

The company is building a $2 billion Gigafactory, its first overseas manufacturing site, in Shanghai. 

According to Reuters, Tesla was included on the country's approved automotive manufacturers list on Thursday, which means it can now begin production. 

According to the Daily Mail, Tesla hopes to make 3,000 cars a week out of the gate and ramp up to 500,000 cars per year. 

The Shanghai factory will not only serve the largest automotive market in the world, but it will also help the company avoid tariffs imposed on U.S. cars. 

Tesla’s Q3 electric car sales improved this summer. According to the AP, the company delivered 97,000 vehicles from July through September, which was better than any other three-month period in its history. 

The company still needs to deliver about 105,000 vehicles by the end of the year to hit Elon Musk’s sales target of at least 360,000 in 2019.

The plant in Shanghai will be the first fully foreign-owned car plant on Chinese soil.
