Sony ought to be smelling dolla dolla bills within the EV -charged streets since the company just announced its intentions to fab lithium-ion batteries for the cars mid-decade. The statement, produced from its plant in Motomiya, hinges on a future market flush with consumer demand for the earth-friendly autos, and will see the development of several dedicated factories. Given the Japanese company’s recent history eating bits of competitor dust (hello Wii and iPod), we understand its forward-facing like to become king of this Li-ion hill. However the mega-electronics maker isn’t placing all of its batteries in a single fuel-source just yet — it’s “also [considering] developing batteries for gasoline-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids” — should they win the fairway energy popularity contest . While we applaud the corporate for encouraging adoption of the environmentally-friendlier tech, we’d much rather see them make batteries for this bad boy from tomorrowland.
