The technology could reduce the cost of EVs to the same level as ICE cars, says Nissan
The company says the latest batteries charge three times faster and offer twice the range of earlier models.
Nissan said it is working with NASA and other partners to commercialise the technology.
The comoany says it will set up a pilot production line in FY 2024 and start selling EVs equipped with the batteries in FY 2028.
“If we can meet the timeline we have announced, we will be in a very competitive position globally,” said R&D evp Kunio Nakaguro.
The batteries contain no liquid electrolyte which increases their energy density while lowering their risk of fire. The process includes coating foil in an ink-like solution to create electrodes, which are then pressed and layered
