Panasonic to begin production of 4680 Li-ion cells for EVs in FY 2023

Panasonic Corporation announced that its Energy Company will establish a production facility at its Wakayama Factory in western Japan to manufacture new, large 4680 (46 millimeters wide and 80 millimeters tall) cylindrical lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs).

Tesla unveiled a 4680-format prototype cell in 2020. This next-generation cell features a cylinder more than twice the diameter of the 2170—and a capacity about five times as large. (Earlier post.) Since then, battery makers have been working been working on production versions of a 4680-format cell (e.g.earlier post).

Panasonic unveiled its 4680 cell last October.
