The world\u2019s biggest electric vehicle battery maker<\/a>, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL), and Intel are among the major companies shutting down their factories for six days in China\u2019s Sichuan province because of a heatwave-related power shortage in the area, according to CNN<\/a> and Bloomberg<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The move affects factories belonging to companies like Tesla\u2019s battery supplier CATL, Apple\u2019s supplier Foxconn Technology, Toyota, Texas Instruments, Volkswagen, Onsemi, and more.<\/p>\n

China ordered all Sichuan factories to pause operations until August 20th to alleviate the pressure placed on the power grid after China\u2019s worst heatwave in 60 years resulted in increased air conditioning usage. According to CNN, temperatures spiked to 104 degrees Fahrenheit in several cities (40 degrees Celsius).<\/p>\n
