Tesla Supplier Panasonic Completes Preparations For Mass Production Of High-Capacity EV Batteries At Wakayama Plant, Set To Produce 4680 Cells
The company held a ceremony to mark the completion of preparations and showcased an inspection line with trays of silver-colored cells. Panasonic Energy also produces 2170 and 1860 cylindrical EV batteries at its Suminoe and Kaizuka plants in Japan.Panasonic Holdings Corp (OTC:PCRFF) (OTC:PCRFY) has completed preparations for the mass production of its high-capacity electric vehicle batteries.
松下控股集團（股票代碼：PCRFF）（股票代碼：PCRFY）已完成高容量電動車電池的大規模生產準備工作。
What Happened: The company's energy unit has renovated its plant in Wakayama, Japan, to produce the 4680 cells, which the Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) supplier has five times the capacity of its smaller 2170 cylindrical batteries. Samples have been sent to automakers for approval before production begins, reported Reuters on Monday.
發生了什麼：該公司的能源部門已經翻新了其位於日本和歌山的工廠，以生產4680電芯，該電芯的容量是其較小的2170圓柱電池的五倍。據路透社週一報道，樣品已發送給汽車製造商批准生產前。
Panasonic Energy plans to start production at an annual capacity of several gigawatt hours, CEO Kazuo Tadanobu stated. The Wakayama plant will employ around 400 staff by March 2025 and will serve as a testing site for processes to be used in other factories globally.
松下能源計劃以每年數十億瓦時的產能開始生產，首席執行官多田野一男表示。到2025年3月，和歌山工廠將僱傭約400名員工，並將成爲用於其他全球工廠的工藝測試場所。
The company held a ceremony to mark the completion of preparations and showcased an inspection line with trays of silver-colored cells. Panasonic Energy also produces 2170 and 1860 cylindrical EV batteries at its Suminoe and Kaizuka plants in Japan.
該公司舉行了一場慶祝儀式，以標誌各項準備工作的完成，並展示了一個裝有銀色電池托盤的檢測線。松下能源還在日本的住之江工廠和賀澤工廠生產2170和1860圓柱形電動汽車電池。
Additionally, Panasonic and Subaru Corp announced plans to establish a plant in Gunma prefecture, north of Tokyo, for automotive battery supply starting in the 2028 business year.
此外，松下和SUBARU公司宣佈計劃在東京北部的群馬縣建立一座工廠，從2028財年開始供應汽車電池。
Why It Matters: The move by Panasonic to mass-produce high-capacity EV batteries comes at a crucial time for the electric vehicle market. The demand for more efficient and longer-lasting batteries is increasing as automakers look to enhance the range and performance of their electric vehicles.
爲什麼重要：松下開始大規模生產高容量電動汽車電池正值電動汽車市場關鍵時刻。隨着汽車製造商們致力於提高電動汽車的續航里程和性能，對更高效和更持久的電池的需求正在增加。
In a recent earnings call, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, highlighted the competitive threat posed by Chinese automakers. Musk warned that Chinese companies could "demolish" their global counterparts if not for existing trade barriers. This underscores the importance of advancements in battery technology to stay competitive in the global market.
在最近一次的業績會上，特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克強調了中國汽車製造商帶來的競爭威脅。馬斯克警告說，如果沒有現有的貿易壁壘，中國企業可以「摧毀」全球競爭對手。這凸顯了電池技術的進步在全球市場中保持競爭力的重要性。
In March, the U.S. and Japan reportedly reached a deal on trading in minerals key to electric vehicle batteries. The trade deal with Japan was an attempt to solve supply chain issues impacting EV manufacturers. Currently, China solely dominates the sector.
據報道，美國和日本在電動汽車電池關鍵礦物貿易上已達成協議。日本的這項貿易協議旨在解決影響電動汽車製造商的供應鏈問題。目前，中國獨家主導該行業。
