Panasonic 2170 Battery has lithium-ion cells that improve the energy density by 5% and reduce cobalt expenses.

From September, Panasonic will start converting lines at its factory in Nevada that it operates with Tesla as it prepares to boost the cells’ energy density further, Takamoto said.

To control safety risks associated with higher density and less cobalt, Panasonic is adjusting the composition and design for better thermal stability, Takamoto said.

He also noted there would be various battery requirements coming into play as EV usage diversifies.

Tesla’s Musk has promised to reveal significant battery advances during a “Battery Day” presentation scheduled for Sept 22.

Tesla plans to introduce an EV battery that will last one million miles later this year or early next, jointly
developed with CATL.
