JAKARTA - The automotive world is moving towards the era of electrification. Car manufacturers are competing to present the best electric vehicles, but one of the most important factors that often escape is the availability of reliable batteries.

In response to these challenges, Subaru Corporation has just signed an agreement with Panasonic Energy regarding the provision of cylindrical lithium-ion batteries for their electric cars.

Sustainable Future Cooperation

In the release of Panasonic Global, March 19, this agreement is said to not only guarantee battery supply, but also a form of joint commitment between the two companies to face social challenges. They agreed to work together to achieve various targets, such as:

Subaru's move to partner with Panasonic Energy as a battery supplier is a strategic decision. Panasonic is known as a major player in the battery industry, and recently they have intensively strengthened the supply chain of lithium-ion batteries in North America.

The proof is that last month Panasonic Energy signed a supply deal for lithium-ion battery cans with H&T Recharge. They are also collaborating on a sustainable supply of graphite for electric vehicle batteries production in the United States.

The agreement between Subaru and Panasonic Energy is a signal of the importance of the presence of reliable batteries. Battery is like a heart for electric vehicles. The quality, durability, and reach offered by batteries greatly affect the performance and competitiveness of electric cars itself.
