Part 6/7:
Looking ahead, Tesla has ambitious plans for the Corpus Christi lithium refinery. Once the first processing line becomes operational, the company will simultaneously work to develop the mirrored processing line, which will double production capacity. With the aim of having some production underway by summer 2025, Tesla appears well-positioned to contribute significantly to the lithium supply chain for its battery manufacturing at Giga Texas.
The expansion of the refinery is not only a testament to Tesla's growth but also reflects the escalating demand for lithium as the world moves towards greater electrification. The potential for recycling and further refining capabilities hints at future innovations in sustainable practices within the sector.
