Nissan
Nissan helped launch the modern EV era with the Leaf, and it is now investing in next-generation cells, including a pilot line for all-solid-state batteries in Japan.
Profile
Nissan is a major Japanese automaker and an early pioneer of mass-market electric vehicles, having launched the Leaf, one of the first mass-produced EVs, in 2010. Batteries have been central to its EV programme for over a decade.
Nissan's early cells came from Automotive Energy Supply Corporation (AESC), a joint venture it formed with NEC, which it later sold to China's Envision. Today it sources cells from suppliers including AESC and others, and is developing next-generation technology, including solid-state cells it aims to bring to production later this decade.
Nissan's long EV history gives it unusually deep experience in automotive batteries, and it continues to invest in the technology across its Ariya and Leaf lines.
