$PANASONIC CORP(PCRFY.US)$ is looking to purchase land in the United States for a mega-factory to make a new type of electric vehicle (EV) battery for $Tesla(TSLA.US)$, public broadcaster NHK reported on Friday.

$Panasonic Corp(PCRFY.US)$正在尋求在美國購買土地，用於建造一家巨型工廠，生產一種新型電動汽車(EV)電池$特斯拉(TSLA.US)$，公共廣播公司NHK週五報導稱。

Panasonic is looking at building the factory, to cost several billion dollars, in either Oklahoma or Kansas for their proximity to Texas, where Tesla is preparing a new EV plant, NHK reported. NHK gave no timeline for Panasonic's U.S. project.

據NHK報道，松下正考慮在俄克拉何馬州或堪薩斯州建造這座工廠，耗資數十億美元，因為這兩個州靠近德克薩斯州，特斯拉正在那裏準備一家新的電動汽車工廠。NHK沒有給出Panasonic美國項目的時間表。

NHK did not cite the source of its information. Panasonic said the reported plan was not something it announced.

NHK沒有引述其信息來源。松下表示，報道的計劃並不是它宣佈的。

A long-time supplier for Tesla, Panasonic has already announced plans to begin mass-producing the new type of lithium-ion battery for Tesla before the end of March 2024 with two new production lines at its western Japanese plant in Wakayama.

作為特斯拉的長期供應商，松下已經宣佈計劃在2024年3月底之前開始為特斯拉批量生產新型鋰離子電池，在日本西部和歌山的工廠有兩條新的生產線。

The 4680 format (46 millimetres wide and 80 millimetres tall) battery is about five times bigger than those currently supplied to Tesla, meaning the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) maker will be able to lower production costs.

4680規格(寬46毫米，高80毫米)電池比目前供應給特斯拉的電池大約五倍，這意味着這家美國電動汽車(EV)製造商將能夠降低生產成本。

The new powerpack is also expected to improve vehicle range.

新的動力包預計還將提高車輛續航里程。
