Customer Qualification Progress With PanasonicAdvancing to a late-stage C-sample with Panasonic materially reduces commercialization risk versus early testing. If Panasonic completes qualification and awards offtake, NOVONIX gains a durable revenue anchor and validation for its U.S. synthetic-graphite product offering, supporting multi-year production scaling and customer trust.
