Panasonic Corp. is receiving “strong responses” from automakers as it seeks new buyers for batteries to be used in electric cars, a company official said.
“Automakers are studying various batteries including their prices. That’s welcome to us, as we believe we can win,” Naoto Noguchi, president of Panasonic’s battery unit, said in an interview yesterday at the company’s headquarters in Osaka. “We’re getting strong responses,” he said, declining to say if the company has won new customers.
