TESLA SAYS A MILLION-MILE BATTERY COULD OFFER A MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT

Tesla could soon introduce a battery that can last for one million miles over the course of its lifetime, and that could have a big effect on reducing carbon emissions. A Bloomberg report this week revealed that Chinese battery firm Contemporary Amperex Technology, also known as CATL, believes it is ready to start production on a battery that can run for 1.2 million miles. The new battery would be designed to last for 16 years. CATL started providing batteries to Tesla in February alongside its other clients. A report in May claimed the firm's million-mile battery project would be used in Tesla vehicles.
