showed off for the first time a larger lithium-ion battery that it plans to supply to the U.S. electric-vehicle maker.
The 4680 cylindrical battery cell gets its name from being 46 millimeters in diameter and 80 millimeters high. It is larger than previous battery cells Panasonic has supplied to Tesla. The head of Panasonic’s battery unit, Kazuo Tadanobu, said the new cell has five times the capacity of smaller previous models. He said the battery was developed in line with Tesla’s needs and Panasonic planned to supply it to Tesla, but he declined to give details.
Mr. Tadanobu said Panasonic planned to start a test production unit of the 4680 battery cells in Japan by March 2022. Tesla said at its earnings call in October that it expected vehicles with 4680 cells to be delivered next year. Tesla Chief Executive
