As a reminder, liquid lithium-ion batteries use a liquid as an electrolyte. This is no longer the case in a so-called “solid” battery. As a result, they can operate in an environment of up to 100 degrees, which avoids the risk of overheating and fire. From then on, it is no longer necessary to associate it with a dedicated cooling system, which is generally very heavy.
At equivalent size, this type of battery has the potential to offer approximately twice the energy density to that of conventional lithium-ion batteries, for a Significantly shorter charging time and, icing on the cake, a lower cost thanks to the use of less expensive materials.
Another benefit: these batteries are adaptable to all types of vehicles, including the heaviest.
However, Nissan is not the only manufacturer working on this type of battery. BMW, Ford and even Volkswagen have also invested heavily in the development of solid-state batteries, not to mention Chinese manufacturers like Nio. It remains to be seen who will release a finished product first. If Nissan intends to launch by 2028, solid batteries should not be deployed in large scale before the next decade.
