A report by market researcher Adamas Intelligence states that Tesla deployed more passenger EV battery capacity and battery materials, namely lithium, nickel and graphite, than its four closest competitors combined in 2020.

According to Adamas, Elon Muskā€™s company also outsold all other plugin electric vehicle makers globally.

Teslaā€™s large deployment of battery metals is explained by the rolling out of its made-in-China Model 3s, which include high-nickel NCM 811 cells from LG Chem. Later in the year, the car also began incorporating nickel- and cobalt-devoid LFP cells from Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL).

Adamasā€™ report highlights the fact that in 2020, nearly 20% of all passenger EV battery capacity deployed onto roads by LG Energy Solution ā€“ a spin-off of LG Chem ā€“ went into MIC Tesla Model 3s, making it the cell supplierā€™s widest channel to market for the calendar year.

Meanwhile, less than 10% of all passenger EV battery capacity deployed onto roads by CATL went into MIC Tesla Model 3s, making it the cell supplierā€™s third greatest ā€˜vehicleā€™ to market for the calendar year, albeit the fastest growing customer on CATLā€™s books.

The big slice of the cake was taken by Panasonic, the Toronto-based consultancy firm said. In 2020, nearly 90% of all passenger EV battery capacity deployed onto roads by Panasonic went into Tesla battery electric vehicles of all kinds. This made Tesla ā€œby far and large the cell supplierā€™s widest channel to market for the calendar year.ā€

Is it just me, or does that not make sense? Just does not seem to add up. Maybe there is a qualifier that I am not understanding?

Tesla occupied 80% of the new BEV registrations in the US last year.

They have models with higher average range, which means when you add up the kWh of batteries, it's even more.

They are also installing massive battery installations around the world for utilities.
