Tesla electrocars in 2023 will receive new batteries with an enlarged stroke. This is reported by Nikkei.
According to the insiders report, in 2023, Panasonic will begin production of new type batteries for TESLA electric vehicles. Thanks to special batteries, the range of cars will increase. It is believed that the Tesla Model S flagship models will take place on one charge up to 750 kilometers – now this figure is 650 kilometers.
It is reported that the cells of the batteries 4680 are about twice as much as the actual generation. This provides a fivefold increase in battery capacity. It is also noted that the production of a new type of batteries by 10-20 percent is cheaper, which can lead to a decrease in the cost of machines on electric traction.
Sources said that Panasonic invests 80 billion yen (about 704 million dollars) into new equipment at its factory in Wakakima Prefecture. The plant has sufficient power to equip accumulators of 150 thousand electrocars per year.
Previously, the sources of Reuters reported that manufacturers of Renault cars, Nissan and Mitsubishi will triple investments in the joint development of electric vehicles. This will make it possible to produce and release a series of electrocars available at the price of ordinary cars.
