2021: Nissan shows what new electric vehicles will look like

At the end of November 2021, Nissan spoke about the new Nissan Ambition 2030 development strategy, which involves large investments in the development of electrified cars. As part of this plan, the company intends to release 23 new models of electric vehicles and increase to 50% the share of such transport in its range.

Nissan representatives said that thanks to the new strategy, by 2026 the company expects to increase its sales of electric vehicles and hybrids in key global markets. In particular, in Europe by 75% of the total volume of cars sold, in Japan by 55% and in China by 40%. Nissan was at one time at the forefront of the electric car revolution, introducing its iconic Leaf in 2010 and introducing the possibility of working from the electric grid into its updated version. In addition to Leaf, the company also sells the Ariya electric SUV, its first car with a combined charging system, which is already available for order in Japan.

We are proud of our long track record of innovation and our role in the electric vehicle revolution. With our new ambitions, we continue to play a leading role in accelerating the natural transition to electric vehicles, creating customer attraction through an attractive offer, promoting implementation and creating a cleaner world, "said Nissan Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta in a statement.

In addition to focusing on increasing sales of electric vehicles, Nissan also plans to market its own solid-state batteries by 2028, which will reduce charging time by a third of the time required to charge current models. By 2026, the company plans to produce 52 GW· h batteries, and by 2030 it wants to increase this capacity to 130 GW· h. By 2024, a solid-state battery testing plant will be opened in Yokohama, and by 2028 the company plans to reduce the cost of producing solid-state batteries by 25%.

Nissan also intends to extend its Propilot driving assistance technology to 2.5 million cars by 2026, including the Infiniti premium brand and continue to develop autonomous driving technology, the report said. Although the automaker did not specify which new electric vehicles the company will bring to the market until 2030, a number of images show some interesting additions to its electric offerings.^[1]
