Panasonic Ships Tesla 4680 Cells
Posted On: June 2, 2022

Panasonic said on Wednesday that it has shipped samples of Tesla’s 4680 cell to the automaker ahead of mass production. Panasonic detailed its plans for the production timeline during the first day of the company’s annual investor event.


"A pilot line, created first in Japan, made it possible to start large-scale prototype production in May," Kazuo Tadanobu, Panasonic’s energy business CEO said during the event.


Pansonic believes mass production of the 4680 cell is set to begin in March 2023 when the company’s fiscal year starts. Panasonic’s Wakayama plant will initially handle the production of the cell. It will then be shifted to North America.


Tadanobu has not committed in the past to produce the 4680 cells in the United States, but now that he is stating the company will transition production to North America, it could bring another plant to the U.S.

My Take: These 4680 batteries will be a much bigger deal than they are being given credit for.
