It is believed that as long as it is manufacturing, manufacturers in all segments will regard means of production and productivity as the two most critical elements. A few days ago, overseas media reported that Panasonic electric is expected to start trial production of 4680 electric vehicle batteries in April, and the location is located in Wakayama Prefecture near the Osaka headquarters. In addition, according to the chief financial officer, the supply capacity will be given priority to meet Tesla's large customer.
From the PPT concept to the current project landing has also been a period of time, the core advantage of the new product is mainly in the 4680 battery cell single energy density. In other words, pure electric vehicles will usher in a small revolutionary evolution, that is, the number of cells used in the car is reduced compared with now, and the use of battery cases is greatly reduced, which in turn directly increases the endurance and manufacturing costs of the whole vehicle.
Specifically, the battery cost per kWh of the 4680 battery is reduced by 56%, the output power is increased by more than 6 times, and the vehicle mileage is increased by 16%. It is worth mentioning that the new battery also adopts a non-polar ear design inside, which helps to reduce internal resistance and reduce heat generation, thus ensuring relatively better charge and discharge performance. As for whether the subsequent new cars that consumers at home and abroad are concerned about will reduce prices, it is only a matter of time before the new battery is predicted to be rolled out.

According to Tesla's annual report data disclosed a few days ago, the average production cost of bicycles is currently 36,000 US dollars (equivalent to about 229,000 yuan), and the price range of the current main models Model 3 and Model Y is basically just over the line level. Therefore, if the brand wants to optimize or improve profitability in the future, it is bound to rely on the continuous promotion of related technical projects, then the advent of the 4680 battery will undoubtedly be of great practical significance.
