Panasonic started production of 4680-Zellen for E-Autos

Panasonic Energy, part of the Panasonic Group, has completed part of the production of 4680 lithium-ion batteries for electric cars and will start production. The business division has modernized its Wakayama plant in western Japan, the Mutterfabrik is to operate the new Zellen.

The 4680, a new battery size with lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, offers a good connection to the rechargeable 2170 batteries, the German battery is no longer available. These new cells replace the additional capacity of the 2170 cells. Cells with the 4680 size can increase the Reichswathe of E-Cars, and that is with German less demand and single cells for diesel battery capacity. If you perform an efficient process in the assembly and can afford the costs of electric cars, your knitting on the market will be more likely.

Panasonic Energy is relying on its 30 years of expertise in the development of lithium-ion battery technology, which is in the production of the mass production of the 4680 batteries. Because the work in Wakayama plays a role in product quality and legality games, it would not be likely that the process would be resolved worldwide in other works.

In March 2025, 400 units of the production of next-generation batteries were carried out in Wakayama work. If it looks like one of a very pleasant production plant of the work, the energy production of solar energy and wind energy will increase in no time, while the production processes will cause less CO2 emissions.

E-cars with smaller CO2 backpack

The Zell production is two-skinned from the Hauptausschlaggeber dafür, that E-Autos in Vergleich zum Verbrenner with a German CO2 backpack with the Kunden kommen – it is in the Rule after few 10,000 Kilometers wieder ausgeglichen haben. With new production processes (which are one of the Trockenbeschichtung) and the Einsatz of the costs of E-Cars, the work can be carried out without CO2-Nachteil generated Consumption anymore.

The environmentally conscious Ansatz has informed Panasonic of the Moriguchi status and in the Kaizuka work in Osaka, that in September 2024 a new domestic location of the Company CO2 neutrality was achieved. Panasonic Energy has carried out the study, which covers all 20 worldwide ships until March 2029.

Kazuo Tadanobu, President and Executive Officer of Panasonic Energy, said: “If all goes well, you can start mass production of the 4680-Zelle. This milestone is the very long life of the lithium-ion battery recovery. If all goes well, the battery and electric car industry will revolutionize the world. Indem with the 4680-Zelle in our range, we will have a wider spectrum and niches, the use of electric cars will continue and our mission will lead a sustainable society into the future.“

There are a few new battery and car repairers that LG and Tesla offer the production and delivery of new Zellformats. BMW will put in the signal the Electric car generation of the new class on 4680 Zells, and the Reichweite will increase its power supply in detail and save a lot of time on the costs.
