GOOD NEWS 🇺🇸 Tesla Energy’s domestic battery supply chain in the US is set for a massive boost 🔥 A report from The Elec confirmed that Samsung SDI is reviving its Synergy Cells project in Indiana as a wholly owned site, completely pivoting away from EV cells to go all-in on large-format LFP batteries for stationary energy storage. The plant is slated to launch in the second half of 2028, with talks already underway to pull production forward by a quarter, delivering over 10 gigawatt-hours per line with Tesla lined up as the prime customer. This creates a formidable dual-factory pipeline in Indiana dedicated to feeding Tesla's storage ramp. Synergy Cells will join StarPlus Energy (SPE) Plant 1 in Kokomo, where line two of three converted LFP lines is scheduled to begin rolling out large-format prismatic ESS cells specifically for Tesla in the first half of next year. The scale here is substantial: converting SPE Plant 1 to LFP pushes total site capacity from 33 gigawatt-hours to around 40 gigawatt-hours. Samsung SDI is funding this multi-trillion-won expansion partly through the 4.45 trillion won sale of its Samsung Display stake, anchoring a massive capital expenditure push of roughly 4 trillion won next year to lock down American grid-scale demand.
