Japan launches high-performance battery development strategy

Yonhap News reported on October 29 that Japan’s Yomiuri Shimbun reported on the 29th that the Japanese government has decided to promote the implementation of an important strategy to promote the development of high-performance batteries for electric vehicles. According to reports, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan plans to incorporate the development of batteries for electric vehicles into an important strategy in the implementation plan issued before the end of this year in order to achieve the goal of zero emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by 2050. As the core component of electric vehicles, battery technology has a great impact on the competitiveness of the Japanese automobile industry. If the capacity is increased, it will contribute to the development of batteries for renewable energy such as solar and wind power. In order to increase the driving distance of electric vehicles to more than that of gasoline vehicles, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will mainly use the next-generation model of lithium batteries, 'all-solid-state batteries.' According to analysis, the Japanese government has cultivated in-vehicle batteries as a strategic industry in order to accelerate the competition with Chinese and Korean companies that have formed obvious advantages in this field. Last year, the global market for car batteries expanded approximately four times compared with 2016, and the products of Chinese companies accounted for approximately 40% of the world market. Japan's market share dropped from about 35% in 2016 to 28% last year. Disclaimer: Some pictures and content of articles published on this site are from the Internet.
