Panasonic Energy Ready to Commence Mass Production of

4680 Automotive Lithium-ion Batteries

In anticipation of global deployment, Wakayama factory relaunched as primary production facility

Osaka, Japan – September 9, 2024 – Panasonic Energy Co., Ltd. (“Panasonic Energy”), a Panasonic Group Company, today announced that it has finalized preparations for mass production of the 4680 cylindrical automotive lithium-ion batteries, marking a much-anticipated breakthrough in the industry. The company has also revamped its Wakayama factory in Western Japan, which will serve as the mother factory for the new cells. An opening ceremony was held today to commemorate the occasion. The mass production is set to start after the final evaluation.

The 4680, a revolutionary cell format of cylindrical lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), offers substantial improvements over the conventional 2170 cells. These new cells possess five times the capacity of the 2170 cell. This not only extends the driving range of EVs, but also reduces the number of cells required for the same battery pack capacity. This results in a more efficient battery pack assembly process and ultimately lowers the cost of EVs, making them more affordable to a wider market.
