Later this decade, Nissan plans to introduce a proprietary low-cost, solid-state battery that it says will help make EVs affordable for everyone.CEO Makoto Uchida is desperate to revive the Japanese carmaker after four years of turmoil triggered by theof former CEO Carlos Ghosn in Japan, for alleged financial crimes, and his subsequent escape to Lebanon.
The carmaker is investing more than $14 billion in the effort over the next four years, including an expansion of battery production in Tennessee.Nissan is also developing a new solid-state battery that would be a breakthrough for the EV movement. "We have been chasing after this battery technology for more than 30 years," Uchida said.
