Tesla has announced a whopping $4.3 billion battery procurement deal with LG Energy Solution (LGES). The US-based electric vehicle manufacturing giant entered into a contract with LG Energy Solution to reduce dependency on China for key components like battery packs. As part of this deal, the South Korean company will supply the required number of batteries to Tesla for three years, between August 2027 and July 2030.
The contract also includes an option to extend the supply period by up to seven years and boost the volume based on demand from customers. LG will provide Tesla with its lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for the energy storage system from the US factory.
According to Reuters, Tesla is finding ways to reduce reliance on Chinese suppliers amid the ongoing tariff war and policy headwinds. The report also claims that the LFP batteries will be supplied from LGES’s US factory in Michigan and help Tesla reduce its reliance on imports from China.

Earlier on Wednesday, LGES reported that it had signed a $4.3 billion contract to supply LFP batteries over three years globally, without specifying the client name. However, the company did not confirm whether the LFP batteries will be used for an energy storage system or in vehicles.
Currently, Tesla imports LFP batteries directly from China, and a higher tariff on imports from China has a significant financial burden on the company. In April, Vaibhav Taneja, CFO at Tesla, stated that the company was looking for non-Chinese battery suppliers for its energy storage business due to tariffs.
Earlier this week, Samsung Electronics and Tesla announced a $16.5 billion chip supply deal, under which Samsung Electronics will supply chips for Tesla vehicle manufacturing.
Tesla cars are known for their high-end and technologically advanced driving experience.
With a strategic partnership with non-Chinese key component suppliers, the US-based EV manufacturer aims to diversify its supply chain and strengthen its production capabilities to meet global demand without facing trouble because of the tariff war and the ongoing economic shift globally.
