Nissan unveils prototype production facility for all-solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

Nissan believes all-solid-state batteries can be reduced to $75 per kWh in fiscal 2028 and to $65 per kWh thereafter, placing EVs at the same cost level as gasoline-powered vehicles. All-solid-state batteries are expected to be a game-changing technology for accelerating the popularity of electric vehicles.

Nissan and Sunwoda jointly to study battery development for e-POWER vehicles

Green Car Congress

The e-POWER system includes a gasoline engine with a power generator, an inverter, a battery and an electric motor. Used solely to charge the high-output battery, the gasoline engine always runs at an optimal speed. This leads to superior fuel efficiency and lower emissions compared with a traditional internal combustion engine.
