Green Mobility
Panasonic has been one of the leaders in the electrification of mobility. The shift to electrified mobility is the next revolution in transportation, which we’re helping to power. Panasonic innovates to advance its battery technology and production capabilities. In Europe, we drive the electrification of electric vehicles with expertise in high-voltage applications. From onboard chargers to battery management systems to motors and energy components for e-bikes.
Whitepaper Greener Mobility
This Whitepaper „Greener Mobility' provides a view onto how the mobility respectively the road transportation sector needs to transform to meet the decarbonisation targets in the EU and the UK. It also provides a view onto the infrastructural changes required - from the production of EV battery cells to their recycling - to make EV mobility truly sustainable.
Batteries for Electric Vehicles
Panasonic has decades of electrified-vehicle experience, from the development to mass production of battery cells. In addition to supplying batteries for hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and full-electric vehicle lines, we also design, engineer, and manufacture complete battery management systems with the objective of optimising safety and performance.
Battery Management System
In hybrid and full electric vehicles, a Battery Management System (BMS) not only checks the charging-discharging status but also provides batteries temperature monitoring and circuit protection measures. Panasonic offers highly skilled engineering expertise and components best suited for safe and efficient electromobility.
E-Bike Components: Motor, Battery, Charger, Remote Display
As one of the most sustainable forms of motorised mobility, we build on 40 years of experience in e-bike technology and over 100 years of electrification expertise. Panasonic's e-Bike components include powerful, lightweight and robust motor units, and high-quality battery technology with integrated battery management systems for optimal performance and safety.
Safe EV Charging Stations and Wall boxes
The global adoption of electric vehicles underscores the need for quality relays and components to ensure a robust electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) infrastructure. Panasonic offers different types of relays to be used in electrified-vehicle charging, including safety cutoff on the AC side, insulation detection for battery inside the inverter, safety cutoff on the DC side and more.
Panasonic Battery History
Panasonic has decades of experience in the development and mass production of battery cells for various battery applications, most notably for electric vehicles. In addition to battery cells for hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicle series, we also design, develop and manufacture complete battery systems.
