Tesla uses Panasonic's NCR18650A battery, with a rated voltage of 3.6V and a capacity of 3.1Ah. Reasons why Tesla chooses Panasonic's 18650 battery: Higher energy density with better stability and consistency; effectively reduces the cost of the battery system; billions of 18650 batteries are produced globally each year, with continuously improving safety levels; small size but high controllability, reducing the impact of failures. Battery requirements: stable performance, high safety coefficient, and multiple recharge cycles. Tesla is an American electric vehicle and energy company founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in Silicon Valley, California.
