Another Japanese Automaker and Japanese Battery Producer form a JV to Develop Advanced Batteries for Electric Vehicles

August 8, 2008

Report: Lithium Energy Japan to Build New Factory to Meet Higher Output Targets for i MiEV | www.greencarcongress.com

Both Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors have formed joint ventures with battery producers in Japan to produce batteries for electric vehicles.  This follows the example of the well-established Toyota-Panasonic JV that already produces batteries for hybrid electric vehicles like the Toyota Prius.  Do these business collaborations demonstrate a degree of commitment / readiness for Japanese automakers to accelerate the production of advanced batteries for electric vehicles?  Is this, perhaps an admission that they believe that these relationships are required in order to arrive at viable electric vehicles?  In addition, interest / support of these JVs from French automakers could indicate a broader potential for these new ventures.  Other leading automakers – e.g., Honda – and other leading battery producers – e.g., Sanyo, Hitachi – will likely take notice of this trend. 

Telecomms Tread Water to Avoid Expensive FCC Backup Power Regulation
