This battery is a “game changer” in the electric vehicle market. New solid-state element jointly created by Nissan and NASA
Nissan is working with NASA on a new type of battery for electric vehicles that will charge faster, lighter, and safer. Nissan made the announcement on Friday.
According to the company, the solid-state battery will replace the lithium-ion batteries currently in use. The pilot launch of the production of such elements is scheduled for 2024, and the full launch is scheduled for 2028.
Nissan says that such a battery can be charged in just 15 minutes. It is not clear whether we are talking about a full charge or about typical auto indicators from 10% to 80%.
Nissan and NASA are using what they call the “Source Materials Information Platform,” a computerized database, to test different combinations and determine what works best among hundreds of thousands of materials. That is, at the moment, despite the specific figures and deadlines, engineers still do not even have an understanding of what materials will be used in new batteries. But project participants say they want to avoid using expensive materials, including rare metals.
All this should make it possible to make such a revolutionary product that it will “change the rules of the game” in the market.
