Japanese automaker Nissan (Nissan) is working with the US space agency NASA to develop a new type of battery for electric vehicles of the future. According to media reports, a collaboration between the US Space Program and Nissan will lead to the development of solid-state batteries, which are believed to be lighter, safer and much faster to charge than the current lithium-ion batteries in use.
According to reports, the first product with a solid-state battery developed by the Nissan-NASA partnership will be launched in 2028. However, a pilot plant will be launched, which will be in early 2024. Once introduced into a product, solid-state batteries can completely replace lithium-ion batteries.
Reports also suggest that, when ready, the solid-state battery developed by Nissan and NASA will be half in size compared to existing batteries used in EVs, and battery charging times will be reduced to a few minutes instead of hours.
In addition to NASA, the Japanese carmaker has also partnered with the University of California to test a variety of materials that can reduce reliance on expensive rare-earth metals currently in use. Nissan will also get the benefit of its Leaf EV. With which it can achieve technology related to battery cells.
Companies like Toyota, Volkswagen, Ford and General Motors are also working on solid-state batteries. However, Nissan's executive vice president, Kunio Nakaguro, says the battery they are developing will be a "game-changer".
