Nissan announces a breakthrough: 65% cheaper batteries isn’t everything

April You first the cars self-equipped electric Solid electrolyte batteries He wants to introduce it in 2028. Then, in two years, a pilot production line of laminated cells for ASSB batteries (all solid state batteries) is scheduled to be launched at the main plant in Yokohama.

However, to avoid an unfortunate accident, “Japanese small-scale train” in a model facility (video below). In this way, they investigate what the correct line will look like and what materials and production processes are required there.

Nissan will offer 65 percent cheaper. Solid electrolyte batteries

Nissan believes in it kWh cost in a solid electrolyte battery that can be reduced to $75 in 2028 and $65 in subsequent years. By 2026, incl. Thanks to economies of scale, batteries are meant to be half cheaper (compared to 2022) and two years later up to 65 percent.

What gives twice the energy density?

energy density approx. ASSB double the height From conventional lithium-ion batteries. This progress Driver You’ll feel more range and better performance.

It is also noticeably distinguished by shorter charging time Thanks to the excellent refill efficiency / power loss – downtime at the charger will be reduced by a third. It is also important to reduce production costs resulting from the use of cheaper materials.

Electric car with internal combustion engine price

In the opinion of Nissan engineers, solid electrolyte batteries will be an advanced technology that will contribute to the rapid increase in the popularity of electric vehicles and bring their prices to par with their combustion counterparts. The Japanese manufacturer intends to use it in Electric vehicles of various sectors, including pickup trucks.
