Under the banner Ambition 2030, Nissan presents a comprehensive vision of the future dominated by electric cars. Up to and including 2030, you can count on no fewer than 15 new electric models from the brand.
Nissan presents a comprehensive plan for the future in which it aims for a portfolio full of electric models. The brand will invest no less than €15.6 billion in further electrification over the next 5 years and wants roughly half of its model range to consist of electrified cars by 2030. By 2030, Nissan will launch 28 new electrified models, 15 of which are fully electric. By 2050, Nissan must be completely CO2 neutral. The targets set apply not only to Nissan, but also to its luxury brand Infiniti.
20 of the promised 28 new electrified cars will be on the market within the next five years, and for good reason. Nissan aims to increase sales of electrified models in Europe by 75 percent by fiscal year 2026 in Europe. More interesting electrical news: Nissan dives into the development of solid-state batteries. In 2028, the brand will launch its first EV with cobalt-free solid-state batteries. Solid-state batteries are seen as the holy grail of battery technology. They have a higher energy density, can withstand higher temperatures and are said to have a longer lifespan than conventional lithium-ion batteries. Where lithium-ion models use a liquid as a connection between the two poles, this is a solid substance with solid-state batteries. Count not only on new electric cars, but also on the arrival of an arsenal of models that will come with Nissan’s e-Power powertrain as we know it from the Nissan Qashqai.
According to Nissan, the investment in new battery technology and the further development of lithium-ion batteries, together with an increase in battery production and the associated cost spreading, will also make electric cars cheaper. For example, batteries for electric cars should be no less than 65 percent cheaper by 2028 than they are now. According to Nissan, this should also make it possible to introduce electric cars in cheaper segments. Nissan wants to build 52 GWh of batteries annually by fiscal year 2026, by 2030 the annual battery production should be good for 130 GWh of batteries. Together with partner company 4R Energy, Nissan also wants to recycle old batteries.
