Nissan is working with NASA on a new type of battery for electric vehicles that promises to charge quicker and be lighter yet safe
The all-solid-state battery will replace the lithium-ion battery now in use for a 2028 product launch and a pilot plant launch in 2024, according to Nissan.
The goal is to avoid the use of expensive materials like rare metals, which are needed for lithium-ion batteries. Other automakers, including Japanese rival Toyota Motor Corp., as well as Volkswagen of Germany and U.S. automakers Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co., are working on all-solid-state batteries.
