The Tesla 4680 battery is produced by Panasonic!

On October 30th, Hirokazu Umeda, chief financial officer of Panasonic Corporation of Japan, pointed out at a briefing on Thursday that Panasonic is preparing to produce 4680 batteries for Tesla. He also mentioned that after Tesla’s “Battery Day” event last month, Panasonic began to develop a prototype production line for the production of 4680 batteries. Umeda Hirowa said: 'We know a lot about this battery. We started this work immediately after Tesla Battery Day, and we are also preparing to build a parallel prototype production line.' Umeda Hirowa further stated, In addition to the 4680 battery prototype production line, Panasonic will also start another production line at its Nevada plant. It is estimated that by 2022, this additional production line will increase the plant's total output by 10% to approximately 38 to 39 GWh per year. He said: 'Our goal is to achieve a profit margin of about 5% in Tesla's battery business within two to three years.' Lithium Grid noted that in the previous battery day, the 4680 battery was a revolutionary battery. Musk has been 'very praised'. It uses laser-engraved electrodeless technology, removes important heating components of the battery, reduces internal resistance, and has higher thermal stability and controllability of the battery. The length of the 4680 battery is 80mm, the single energy is increased by about 5 times, the power is increased by 6 times compared with the battery with tabs, and the battery life is increased by 16%. Musk's expected target for its energy density is 200wh/kg. : Tesla In addition, in terms of innovative manufacturing and assembly, Musk said that the 4680 battery saved a total of about 86% of the cost, and each Kwh reduced the cost by 76%. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, electric vehicles have more cost advantages. Today, as Panasonic and Tesla have stated that this revolutionary battery will be put into production by Panasonic, it means that the 4680 battery will soon appear on Tesla models. It’s worth noting that, because Tesla had previously put into production in Shanghai, my country, a new plant, and the domestically produced Model 3 models used Ningde era and LG batteries, which obviously means that Tesla no longer binds batteries to Panasonic. Therefore, some discordant factors have appeared between the two. However, judging from the fact that Tesla delivered its revolutionary 4680 battery to Panasonic and put it into production, and Tesla models have repeatedly set new highs in recent times, Tesla has placed a large number of orders with it, and the relationship between the two is somewhat Ease.
