Ukukhiqizwa okuningi kwamabhethri e-lithium-ion amasha angu-4680

I-Panasonic izoqala ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi bamabhethri e-lithium-ion amasha angama-4680 akhulisa uhla lwezimoto zikagesi ngaphezulu kwe-15% ekuqaleni kuka-2023, ngezinhlelo zokutshala imali elinganiselwa ku-80 billion yen (€ 622 million) ezindaweni zokukhiqiza eJapan.

Ibhethri elisha kulindeleke ukuthi linikeze izimoto ezinde kakhulu emhlabeni ngesisindo sebhethri futhi lizoqhudelana nezimbangi zaseNingizimu Korea kanye nabaseShayina abakhiqiza amabhethri.

I-Panasonic izoqala ukukhiqiza isivivinyo sesizukulwane esilandelayo saleli bhethri le-4680 esikhungweni esisentshonalanga neWakayama Prefecture, kusho isikhulu sezezimali uHirokazu Umeda ngoLwesithathu esithangamini semiphumela yezimali yenkampani yekota. Inkampani izophinde isungule umugqa wokukhiqiza we-prototype wamabhethri ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka e-Japan.

Ibhethri elisha lizoba likhulu ngokuphindwe kabili kunezinguqulo ezindala, ngokukhuphuka komthamo okuphindwe kahlanu. Lokhu kuzovumela abakhiqizi bezimoto ukuthi behlise inani lamabhethri asetshenziswa emotweni ngayinye, okuzonciphisa nesikhathi esithathwayo ukuwafaka ezimotweni. Uma kubhekwa ukusebenza kahle kwayo okuphezulu, kuzobiza kancane ngo-10% kuya ku-20% ukukhiqiza lawa mabhethri amasha, uma kuqhathaniswa nezinguqulo ezindala ngokwesisekelo somthamo.

I-Panasonic inweba isitshalo sayo esifundeni sase-Wakayama futhi iletha imishini emisha ukuze ikhiqize ngobuningi amabhethri e-Tesla amasha, ngokutshalwa kwezimali okusha okungaba ngama-yen ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-80 (amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-704). Isivele inezitshalo zebhethri ze-EV e-Japan nase-U.S. futhi inikezela ngamabhethri ezitshalweni ze-EV ezisetshenziswa yi-Tesla e-California.

Umthamo wokukhiqiza wefekthri i-Wakayama usadingidwa kodwa kulindeleke ukuthi ube cishe nama-gigawatt ayi-10 ngonyaka okulingana nama-EV angu-150,000. Lokhu cishe ku-20% wamandla okukhiqiza wePanasonic.

I-Panasonic ihlela ukuqala kancane ukusebenza kulo nyaka ukusungula amasu aphephile, asebenzayo ngaphambi kokuqala ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi ngonyaka ozayo. Le nkampani inezinhlelo zokwandisa ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi ezitshalweni e-U.S. noma amanye amazwe.

Ngaphandle kuka-Tesla, abanye abenzi bezimoto nabakhi bamabhethri nabo baphuthuma kulo mkhakha.I-CATL iphinde yamemezela uchungechunge lwezinhlelo zokutshala izimali, nesamba sesamba sokutshalwa kwezimali esisondele ku-2 trillion yen. I-LG Chem ikhulise cishe i-1 trillion yen ngokufaka ohlwini inkampani esebenzisana nayo futhi ihlela ukusebenzisa imali etholwayo ukutshala imali e-U.S. IToyota Motor ihlela ukutshala imali engu-2 trillion yen ekukhiqizeni nasekuthuthukisweni kwamabhethri ngo-2030.

Ngenxa yesidingo esivela ku-Tesla, i-Panasonic yake yaba ne-chunk enkulu yemakethe yebhethri ye-EV. Kodwa-ke, i-CATL ne-LG Chem ngo-2019 baqala ukuhlinzeka ngamabhethri embonini ye-Tesla e-China, okwenza i-Panasonic yalahlekelwa isabelo semakethe, manje esizama ukuyibuyisela emuva ngokuthuthukiswa kwebhethri elisha.
