The Japanese automaker aims to introduce its first EVs equipped with these advanced batteries by fiscal year 2028, marking a critical milestone in its &quot;Ambition 2030&quot; electrification strategy. This next-generation battery technology is often hailed as the &quot;holy grail&quot; for EVs, promising substantial improvements over current lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n<p>The new ASSBs are expected to deliver a dramatic increase in driving distance. Nissan ((\/stock\/7201)) anticipates improving EV range by as much as 70%. For context, this could potentially double the range of a current Nissan Leaf ((\/stock\/7201)) from 604 km to an impressive 1,200 km (approximately 745 miles). This extended range would significantly alleviate <em>range anxiety<\/em>, a common concern for potential EV buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond increased range, the solid-state batteries are designed to drastically reduce charging times. Fast-charging, which currently takes around 30 minutes, could be slashed to as little as 10 minutes. This efficiency gain is coupled with an ambitious cost reduction target, with Nissan ((\/stock\/7201)) aiming to bring battery pack costs down to <strong>$75 per kilowatt-hour by 2028<\/strong>, with an ultimate goal of <strong>$65 per kilowatt-hour<\/strong>. These cost reductions are crucial for making EVs more accessible and competitive in the broader automotive market.<\/p>\n<p>Nissan&#39;s ((\/stock\/7201)) pursuit of ASSB technology involves strategic partnerships, including a collaboration with US-based LiCAP Technologies to develop a dry electrode production process. This process is expected to offer significant advantages in manufacturing efficiency and performance while reducing environmental impact. The company has already established a pilot plant for all-solid-state batteries at its Yokohama facility in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>While Nissan ((\/stock\/7201)) is optimistic about its 2028 launch timeline, the race for solid-state battery dominance is highly competitive. Other major automakers and battery manufacturers, such as Toyota ((\/stock\/7203)), Volkswagen (<a href=\"\/stock\/VOW3\">VOW3<\/a>), Stellantis (<a href=\"\/stock\/STLA\">STLA<\/a>), BYD ((\/stock\/1211)), and CATL, are also heavily invested in solid-state battery research and development, with some targeting initial launches around 2027. <em>The successful mass production and integration of this technology will be a critical differentiator in the rapidly evolving EV landscape.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Nissan ((\/stock\/7201))
