Panasonic is considering producing batteries for electric vehicles in three prefectures, including Gunma Prefecture.

It was revealed on the 20th that Panasonic Energy, a subsidiary of Panasonic Holdings that handles the electricity business, is considering establishing production bases in Gunma, Hiroshima, and Yamaguchi prefectures to supply batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) in cooperation with Subaru and Mazda, whose only automobile production bases in Japan are in Gunma Prefecture. Subaru announced plans in July last year to start producing EVs equipped with the batteries it receives at a dedicated factory to be built in Oizumi Town, and it appears that they plan to strengthen cooperation in the production of automotive batteries as well.
