China Economic Network, April 11 (Reporter Jiang Zhiwen) Recently, Nissan Motor Company announced a pilot production facility for stacked soft-packed all-solid-state batteries (ASSB) cells, and plans to officially put into operation in 2028. According to reports, Nissan's all-solid-state battery pilot production facility is located in the Nissan Automotive Research Center in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, aiming to further promote the development and application of all-solid-state batteries.
Kunio Nakaguro, Executive Vice President of Nissan Motor Company and responsible for R&D and product development, said: "Through extensive R&D efforts, Nissan Motor is actively involved in the research and development of molecular-grade battery materials and the development of safe and high-performance electric models, leading the development of electro-drive technology. At the same time, Nissan Motor uses electric models as energy storage batteries to support the development of the city. ”

"Nissan's previous R&D experience will help develop all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). At present, we already have an important accumulation of technology. In the future, Nissan's R&D and production departments will continue to collaborate to make full use of pilot production facilities to accelerate the commercial application of all-solid-state batteries. Nakapan added.
According to reports, the energy density of all-solid-state batteries is close to twice that of traditional lithium-ion batteries, and it has excellent charging and discharging performance, which will further shorten the charging time. At the same time, battery costs can be reduced to a lower rate due to the reduction in the use of expensive raw materials. With many advantages, Nissan Motor plans to apply all-solid-state batteries to a wider range of segments such as pickup trucks to further enhance the competitiveness of electric models.

As part of the "Nissan Motor 2030 Vision", Nissan Motor plans to launch an electric model equipped with Nissan's original all-solid-state battery by fiscal year 2028, and plans to build a pilot plant in Yokohama, Japan in fiscal 2024, and continuously conduct research on the materials, design and manufacturing processes.
According to the plan, by fiscal year 2028, the all-solid-state battery can reduce the battery cost to $75 per kWh, while through continuous innovation, the cost will be further reduced to $65 per kWh in the future to achieve cost parity for electric models and fuel models.
