. To date, the company produced more than 1.4 million lithium-ion battery systems for hybrids .
It will be very interesting if GS Yuasa invests in the development and manufacturing of batteries specifically for all-electric cars - most likely, in partnership with some carmakers."formed a department for the project, bringing in engineers from its hybrid and plug-in hybrid operations." Earlier this year, GS Yuasa was selected for the NEDO Green Innovation Fund’s Next-Generation Storage Battery project, related to solid-state batteries.
At this point, it's not clear what battery chemistry might be offered by GS Yuasa for the new all-electric models. We guess that there might be some innovations, simply because otherwise it will not be easy to compete with already scaled-up battery manufacturers. Japan was reluctant to transition to electric vehicles over the last 15 years - despite a lot of know-how in terms of lithium-ion batteries and some early push into electrification . Many manufacturers around the world utilized the time to develop dedicated BEV platforms and are far outpacing Japanese manufacturers in terms of sales volume.is a sign of a broader move by the Japanese industry. It's high time to prepare to switch the focus from hybrids to all-electric cars.
