KINOKAWA, Japan (Reuters) - The energy unit of Japan''s Panasonic Holdings has finalised preparations for the mass-production of its 4680 electric-vehicle batteries, the company said on Monday, as it seeks to start supplying the cell to automakers.
Tesla''s Ambitious Goals vs. 4680 Battery Production Realities. With each Cybertruck needing 1,360 cells, Tesla will need to make approximately one million 4680 battery cells daily to achieve the annual goal of 250,000 Cybertrucks. Currently, the Austin factory is making about 10 million cells every four months, which is about 32.5 million
The efficiency of Tesla''s production lines is also far from industry expectations. An equipment manufacturer said that at the beginning of this year, the production efficiency of Tesla''s 4680 battery was about 85 cells/minute. Previously, the industry believed that the upper limit of the efficiency of the 4680 battery was 350 cells/minute.

Panasonic’s new 4680 batteries – so named for the dimensions of each battery cell, 46 millimetres in diameter and 80 millimetres in height – are a step change in battery technology and boast substantial improvements over more traditional 2170 cells (21mm in diameter and 70mm in height).
Tesla and its suppliers, such as Panasonic and LG Chem, are increasingly specialized in cylindrical batteries. However, the 4680 battery is also considered a comeback for cylindrical batteries. This is due to the core technological innovation of Tesla's 4680 battery. The toothpaste tube analogy refers to the improved energy density and manufacturing efficiency of the 4680 battery.
Panasonic Energy Co., Ltd. has issued a press release entitled "Panasonic Energy Ready to Commence Mass Production of 4680 Automotive Lithium-ion Batteries" You can read the press release with the following PDF link. The content in this website is accurate at the time of publication but may be subject to change without notice.
The analysis from UC San Diego shows that the Tesla 4680 battery has a nominal energy density of 244 watt-hours per kilogram and a usable density of 230 Wh/kg. This is significantly less than the Panasonic 2170 battery, which has a nominal energy density of 269 Wh/kg and a usable density of 255 Wh/kg.
If the mass production of 4680 batteries goes smoothly, it is estimated that after 2024, the cost of 4680 batteries per kWh is 50-100 yuan cheaper than that of ternary prismatic batteries.
