Nissan EV Approach

Nissan intends to bring forth solid-state batteries as the substitute for current lithium-ion units. The new Nissan Leaf EV, according to industry reports, will use these solid-state batteries. Its introduction will take place before 2028, as production has likely begun. Nissan envisions decreasing the prices of its electric vehicles by around 50% with the launch of these solid-state batteries. According to the reports, these batteries will double the energy density and triple the charging speed of the EVs. The all-new battery technology's button cells measure 10 cm in diameter and are under development in Japan. According to the firm, these cells will grow to the size of a laptop at the last stage of production. Nissan believes that the launch of these new batteries will strengthen the growth of EVs across the globe.
