They will all be available by 2030 and Infiniti will sell some models.
After reorganizing its entire lineup, except for the GTR, Nissan now looks ahead to the inevitable EV era. With plans to invest no less than two trillion yen (roughly $17.68 billion at current exchange rate), the Japanese automaker will be the next to make major investments in electrification. The new generation of vehicles is promising “exciting, electrified cars and technological innovations”. The fiscal year 2030 in Japan will see the launch of 23 electrified models, including 15 pure EVs. This is part of the Nissan Ambition 2030 agenda. Some of these models will also be sold by the luxury division.
Infiniti. In the meantime, Nissan expects electrified models to account for 75 percent of Europe’s sales by 20 EVs/hybrids (e-Power) models in the next five-years. The Japanese automaker expects that the percentage will reach 55 percent in the same time frame. In China, however, it is targeting 40 percent. EVs should make up 40 percent of US sales by 2030.
Nissan will continue to develop and roll out lithium-ion battery technology in support of the rollout hybrids and zero emission vehicles. This is to reduce manufacturing costs by 65% by 2028. The first production EV with solid-state battery technology is due to arrive on the market around this time. A pilot plant in Yokohama will be operational by fiscal 2024. Solid-state batteries will reduce the time required to recharge the battery by a third and bring the cost of the battery down to $75/kWh by fiscal year 2028. And eventually to $65/kWh. Nissan expects to achieve cost parity with EVs and cars powered by combustion engines in the long-term. The global production capacity for batteries will increase to 52 GWh in the fiscal year 2026, and reach 130 GWh in the fiscal year 2030.
