Nissan Prepares to Launch Electric Vehicles with Solid-State Batteries

The Japanese company expects to launch its first vehicles featuring the new technology as early as 2028. Solid-state batteries are considered one of the key elements for a breakthrough in the development of electric vehicles.

Engineers at the Japanese company have created a 23-layer battery prototype suitable for use in a vehicle. Tests have confirmed that it meets charging and discharging requirements. A production line for the new batteries was launched at the Nissan plant in Yokohama back in 2025.

According to preliminary data, the new batteries can double the driving range compared to lithium-ion batteries. A range of over 1,000 km is expected under the WLTP cycle. Similar developments are also being pursued by Toyota, Volkswagen, Honda, and other automakers, particularly Chinese ones.

For mass production, the company is partnering with the American firm LiCAP Technologies. Dry electrode technology eliminates the need for drying stages and solvents, thereby reducing production costs.
