Izumi Kawanishi, the president of Sony Honda Mobility, an automotive joint venture made up of Sony and Honda (NYSE: HMC), told Reuters Wednesday that the company might potentially acquire batteries for their upcoming Afeela electric car from the United States, where Honda is in the process of constructing a factory.

Kawanishi provided this information during the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo, which was accessible to the press a day prior to its official commencement.
