- Panasonic Holdings Corp (OTC:PCRFY) reportedly plans production expansion of electric vehicle batteries at a factory in Nevada, jointly operated with its largest customer, Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA).
- Tesla recently said it would “buy as much as [Panasonic] can make,” Nikkei reported, citing an executive at Panasonic.
- The executive further added that the facility is “already crammed,” but they can add just one more production line.
- Panasonic Energy, an affiliate of Panasonic Holdings, is expected to install a 15th production line at Gigafactory Nevada, scheduled to begin operation in one to two years.
- The annual production capacity at the facility is projected to boost by around 10% to 39 gigawatt-hours (GWh) from the current 38 GWh, which will suffice for 500,000 to 700,000 Tesla Model 3s.
- Notably, Panasonic aims to quadruple EV battery production capacity by 2030.
