    Remember that Panasonic is also in a partnership with Tesla for their battery factory. Gigafactory1

    I thought that there have been Panasonic laptop cells in the traction battery from the beginning of the Prius line.

    I saw that headline this morning but didn't have time to read the article. I've had lots of Panasonic products and seven Toyotas. All have been as flawless as I could hope for. So this sounds to me like a great partnership.
    I think you're right. They made a joint venture called Primearth.

    Toyota has not yet built a BEV, though

    Yes, my disclosure pointed to the Toyota union with Panasonic, nothing more.
