The Price and Charging Time of Electric Cars Will No Longer Be a Problem for Nissan

Nissan is willing to solve the two major problems of electric cars that prevent many people from acquiring them. In the coming years, the automaker plans to tackle the challenges of price and charging time with its prototype 50% cheaper, which charges in up to 7 minutes. This surprising bet from the Japanese brand features solid-state batteries.

Solid-State Batteries and Energy Density of the Cells

During an interview with the British magazine Autocar, Nissan’s Vice President of Research and Development stated that solid-state batteries charge three times faster, reaching 400 kW. Thus, an electric car with a 50 kW battery capacity can be charged in just seven and a half minutes.

Solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes (minerals that carry an electric charge) in place of the liquid electrolytes found in lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, they allow for greater energy density, ensuring less raw material is needed to achieve the same range.

Predictions for the Arrival of the New Electric Car in the Market

The first commercial model with this type of technology from Nissan is expected to reach the market in 2028. However, tests and experiments with the new electric car should begin in 2025, and the engineering work is scheduled to finish in 2026.

The major challenge for the automaker in utilizing solid-state battery technology is related to costs, sensitivity to pressure and temperature, and lithium debris, which can overheat the battery and cause fires.

Finally, the vice president guaranteed the presence of current batteries, which will have a new generation in 2025 and cobalt versions in 2028. Meanwhile, combustion engines will remain relevant, especially in countries like Brazil, but will not be updated to meet Euro7 emission standards.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

After closing a factory in Argentina, Whirlpool will open 200 job positions at a Brazilian unit and aims to accelerate industrial restructuring with new investments, logistical expansion, and a focus on national production of home appliances to meet high demand in the South American market.

New CNH rule allows the use of a private car in the exam, but insurers raise an alert about coverage in case of an accident

Brazil joins a 5-year international mega project to combat plastic pollution on the coast with scientific monitoring, new environmental policies, and integrated actions that promise to reduce waste in strategic coastal cities of the country.

Workers were digging to build a railway in northern Mexico and found beneath their feet a 1,200-year-old village with underground houses, ancient burials, and rock engravings.

Forget the basic popular car: used sedans like Passat CC, Kia Cerato, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Volvo S60 show that it’s still possible to buy more performance, comfort, and technology for less than many new compacts.

Used Honda Civic: 3 versions of the Japanese sedan with naturally aspirated engines of up to 155 hp, fuel consumption of up to 13.8 km/l, robust automatic transmission, and a reputation for reliable mechanics still dominate the used car market in Brazil.

Toyota Hilux becomes a ‘cargo truck’: automaker declares a new era for the pickup with greater capacity, reinforced chassis, 2.8 turbodiesel engine, raised suspension, 1,525 kg load capacity, and targets Ford Ranger Super Duty, which tows an impressive 4,500 kg.
