Core supplier Panasonic develops new technology, Tesla batteries are expected to reduce costs and improve range
Tesla's battery supplier Panasonic plans to develop a higher-capacity electric vehicle battery within about two years, aiming to complete the research and development by the end of 2027. According to reports, the Japanese company stated that if this goal is achieved, the range of Tesla's most affordable SUV, the Model Y, could increase by nearly 90 miles while keeping the current battery pack capacity unchanged; alternatively, by maintaining the existing range and reducing the size of the battery pack, Panasonic may be able to use this technology to produce lighter and potentially lower-cost battery versions. This represents a groundbreaking significant advancement for this Tesla supplier. The innovation lies in eliminating the anode component during the manufacturing process, allowing the battery to form a lithium metal anode after the first charge
