Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) already has some of the most energy-dense electric vehicle batteries available, with the company's Model S able to travel over 400 miles on a single charge.
Now it looks like Tesla's vehicles will be able to travel even farther, as a report from Reuters details Panasonic's (OTC: PCRFY) lans for future improvements.
Over the next five years, Panasonic is planning to increase energy density by 20%, while also having cobalt-free batteries available in the next two to three years, according to Reuters. The 2170 cells that will be receiving these improvements are currently found in Tesla's mass-produced Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.
Removing cobalt from Tesla batteries has long been a goal for CEO Elon Musk.

I have a Mid Engine 2020 Corvette Hardtop Convertible on order. Hopefully I’ll get it by Thanksgiving, unless Thanksgiving is outlawed by then.
GM is already working on a Hybrid version that will be all wheel drive with two Electric Motors powering the front wheels. Should be out by 2023.
They already planned the space for the Battery Packs in the new Platform running down the center tunnel.
Rumor has it that they will have an all Electric version coming out a few years after that. The future is here.
