Megan Mongon Lee from Panasonic wants half a battery supply chain inside North America by 2030

I talked to the CEO of Panasonic America Megan Myungwon Lee about today’s news and what is the next in a mysterious environment for clean energy. She said: “This great long -term commitment started four years ago,” she said. “The function of all the CEO is to move and make decisions at a very mysterious and unconfirmed times.”

Lee prefers to focus on positivity. She told me, “I do not say it is easy.” “But the current administration and the previous administration believe in bringing technology to the market and creating manufacturing functions, and this is what we do.”

Although the new policy environment may delay the schedule for intensifying full production, about 1,100 employees have been appointed 4000 employees. It is expected to adhere to this plan despite artificial intelligence, difficult market conditions, and the plans of the Japanese company that recently announced to reduce 10,000 jobs worldwide, or about 4 % of the workforce.

“Our manufacturing process is really very automated, and for the size we produce, we will still need, at this point, on a few employees to run the factory in Kansas.”

It addresses the challenges that everyone faces in the industry now: “Especially in battery works, the supply chain is global; there are raw materials that we cannot get locally.” But Panasonic changed its supply chain during Kofid and “Our goal is to get at least 50 % of our supply chain in this region by 2030”.

“It is a great start and certainly a celebration, but we have to make sure of the success of the work and there is a healthy return.” More news below.
