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.
