After initial reports earlier this month, a new story claims Panasonic is reportedly in talks over the site for a new US battery plant to supply Tesla and potentially other EV makers with next-generation lithium-ion 4680 battery cells.
According to a fresh report from Bloomberg citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter, the Japanese corporation is looking at several locations for the multibillion-dollar factory, including one in Oklahoma and another in Kansas. The new facility could start operating as soon as 2024.
