[hiroshiy]

Google 翻訳
Panasonic President Mr. Tsuga revealed in an interview with Mainichi newspaper, that Panasonic intends to manufacture automotive cylindrical cells in Suzhou and Wuxi, where 18650 for laptops are manufactured. This seems to be supplied to Chinese EV manufacturers.

-----
Not sure which manufacturer. Does any Chinese manufacturer use 18650?

The cylindrical cells are not for conventional EVs.
They are for electric motorcycles, scooters and micro-EVs.
