Nissan is continuously planning to evolve its lithium-ion battery technology and introduce laminated solid-state EV battery technology to bring down the cost of Electric vehicles by 65% by the fiscal year 2028.
Highlight:
- The price of EVs is likely to be similar to ICE vehicles post the introduction of Nissan’s solid-state batteries.
- Nissan to launch its first solid-state battery EV in 2028,
- QuantumSpace, backed by Volkswagen, plans to sell solid-state batteries by 2024
- Ford announced a new global battery center of excellence, post the announcement of $22 billion for R&D of EVs till 2025.
The Nissan solid state battery prototype production facility is located within Nissan Research Centre in Kanagawa Prefecture. The carmaker aims to launch an EV with Nissan’s solid-state battery by fiscal 2028. Nissan aims to further promote the development of solid-state batteries.
Nissan, a Japanese multinational automaker company, unveiled the prototype production for all-solid-state batteries. The prototype production is a part of Nissan’s long-term vision, Nissan Ambition 2030.
