Tesla aims to sell 20 million electric cars a year by 2030, 21 times more than in 2021

In the newly released 2021 Impact Report, Tesla revealed that they aim to accelerate the global transition to sustainable energy by selling 20 million electric vehicles per year and deploying 1,500 GWh of energy storage per year by 2030.

The two goals disclosed in Tesla’s impact report are much higher than their current reality.

In 2021, Tesla is to deliver 936,200 electric vehicles to consumers, and the target of 20 million in 2030 is 21.36 times the actual delivery last year; the 1,500 GWh energy storage project target is also much higher than last year. Sla disclosed in the impact report that they deployed a total of 4 GWh of energy storage projects last year.

It is worth noting that in the current global automotive field, there is no car manufacturer with an annual sales volume of 20 million vehicles, and very few manufacturers with more than 10 million vehicles. The sales of Volkswagen and Toyota have exceeded 10 million in some years. vehicle.

Of course, Tesla, which has a strong development momentum, is not without the possibility of achieving its sales target of 20 million electric vehicles by 2030. Tesla’s deliveries in recent years have increased significantly year-on-year. From 2017 to 2021, Tesla’s global deliveries were 103,200, 245,500, 367,600, 499,600, and 936,200, respectively. vehicle.

With the improvement of Tesla’s situation, Tesla is also building new super factories around the world, and the investment in batteries and battery raw materials is also increasing. The production capacity of the built factories is also increasing. Considering that there are still more than 8 years before 2030, it is expected that more Tesla Gigafactories will be completed and put into production.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed at the 2018 annual shareholder meeting that Tesla plans to eventually build 10 to 12 super factories around the world. At that time, Tesla’s Shanghai Super Factory, Berlin Super Factory, and Texas Super Factory. The factories have not yet started construction.

In addition to building more factories and achieving the annual sales target of 20 million vehicles, Tesla also needs to increase models to meet the needs of more consumers.
