Despite Nissan being involved in a company restructuring plan, in an effort to return to profitability, the Japanese automaker plans to launch its first vehicle with solid-state battery technology in 2028.
Nissan confirmed its plans to “AutoExpress,” describing the new technology as a significant advancement for electric mobility.
According to Christoph Ambland, director of Product Planning at Nissan Europe, he emphasized that careful development is crucial: “We cannot rush the process. We need to ensure that this technology is reliable and can meet our customers’ expectations.”
According to Nissan, solid-state batteries can increase energy density by up to 30% compared to lithium-ion batteries. At the same time, this technology is considered more economical and better suited to temperature fluctuations.
In addition to enhancing 100% electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids may also benefit from the new technology. “We still don’t know exactly where the technology will take us, but we are actively exploring all possible applications”, says Ambland.
It is worth noting that Nissan is not the only brand in the race to develop solid-state batteries, as VW and Stellantis have already announced plans to start using the new technology in 2027.
