Panasonic's 3.1Ah batteries to be used in the Tesla Model S, have highest energy density yet
松下電器3.1安培小時的電瓶 (目前世界最高能量密度) 將用在Tesla Model S電動房車上
Encouraging news for all you EV enthusiasts out there: Tesla's Model S appears to still be on track for its planned 2012 launch and will be using battery technology offering the highest energy density "in the world." Built in Panasonic's new fab in Suminoe, Japan, these 3.1Ah cells (you can just about see one of them being held by the two corporate types above) will be manufactured at a rate of more than 300 million per year. Considering each car would require a few more than 6,000 of them for its full energy storage, that means Tesla would be able to churn out about 48,000 Model S sedans per year. Then again, the company has only sold about 1,000 units of its Roadster so far, so we doubt it'll be pushing Panasonic's max production capacity any time soon. Still, good to know things are progressing in the right direction.
令所有電動車愛好者振奮的消息在這：Tesla的S型房車表示仍依計劃在2012年發表，並且將採用松下電器位於日本住之江新加工廠製造的，世界最高能量密度電池科技，這些3.1安培小時的電池 (如圖所示由兩公司代表所握住)將以每年3億顆的速度來製造。
考慮到每輛車將會需要6000顆如此飽滿電力的電池，此意味著Tesla只能大約每年生產48,000輛房車。然而再次說明，該公司目前只賣出了1000輛敞篷跑車，因此我們對松下即將增加到最大產能存疑。但仍然樂於知道此事是往正確的方向前進。
