Nissan, one of Japan’s best-known car manufacturers, is one of the giants of electric vehicles. a move to avoid is planning. Last Friday, Nissan released a new prototype developed at its production plant in Yokohama, Japan.

According to the company, this prototype will be used for future electric vehicles that will be produced. to solid state batteries belonging The company plans to have these batteries fully operational by 2024 and then use them in the development of electric vehicles. In addition, the car giant is working with NASA for these batteries.

Nissan plans to launch its first solid-state battery electric car in 2028

Nissan is reportedly using solid-state batteries, which they aim to complete prototype in 2024. in 2028 It plans to launch its first electric vehicle with a solid-state battery.

Nissan Corporate Vice President Kazuhiro Doi made a statement on the subject, telling reporters: NASA and the University of California at San Diego He stated that with the participation of both NASA and Nissan, this collaboration will be beneficial. bye, NASA and Nissan need the same kind of battery the expressions used.

So why are these batteries so important?

Solid-state batteries are theoretically better than the lithium-ion batteries most electric cars currently use. can charge faster† more power have and can provide longer use;† In other words, the range of vehicles is greater with a smaller and cheaper battery. Nissan says it plans to use solid-state batteries in all of its vehicle lines, including pickup trucks. These batteries are intended to be fully charged in 15 minutes and are half the size of the batteries currently in use.

Solid-state batteries will increase the price of charging batteries with electricity, first to $75 per kW/h by 2028 and even later. $65 per kWh It’s even downloadable. This means that these batteries could make electric cars much more affordable and, at some point, could even lower them to the same price as petrol cars.
