Electric car game-changer: Nissan to start rolling out solid-state battery EVs from 2028

AutoExec Summary
Nissan is set to launch its first production electric car with solid-state batteries in 2028 after real-world trials in 2026. The batteries are 50% more energy-dense and can be charged three times faster than traditional cells. They are also 50% cheaper to produce and have a lower risk of explosion and fire. Nissan has not revealed the details of how the solid-state batteries work, but it is believed that they have replaced the electrolyte and separator with ceramic, glass, or polymer composites. Other car manufacturers are also working on solid-state batteries, but Nissan is on track to be the first to mass-produce them for its vehicles.
