Nissan to spend $ 17.6 billion on EV development over the next five years

Nissan will sell 2 trillion yen ($ 17.6 billion) over the next five years and develop new EVs and battery technology as part of a larger plan called “Ambition 2030,” the company said. he announced. It wants to launch 15 new EVs by 2030, electric vehicles making up half of its vehicles at that time.

The company will build 23 total electric vehicles in the next eight years, with 20 of them coming in just five years. It is targeting 75 percent of the market (EV and e-Power PHEV / hybrids) in Europe, 55 percent in Japan and 40 percent in the US and China by 2030.

Another part of this mix, it could be the internal combustion engine (ICE). It is worth noting that in early 2021, Nissan said that designed electrical appliances every new car that launches by the early 2030s. Probably, then, any of the existing ICE vehicles may be of the old type.

Nissan will launch EVs with batteries of all kinds (ASSB) by 2028 and upgrade the airport in Yokohama in early 2024, it said. This technology promises the best of both worlds, but it has pa arriving at the market as expected. The company also wants to bring the price of battery packs to $ 75 per kWh by 2028 and reduce it to $ 65 kWh along the way. That could be about half of what EV batteries purchased last year, according to Bloomberg. By 2030, Nissan expects to produce 130 GWh of batteries.

The company said it plans to upgrade its ProPilot driver support to more than 2.5 million Nissan and Infiniti vehicles by 2026. It will also include next-generation LIDAR systems “for each new model by 2030.”

As part of Ambition 2030, Nissan also unveiled at least four vehicles: Chill-Out, Surf-Out, Hang-Out and Max-Out. Like many ideas, it is supposed to give Nissan a future technological taste combined with self-driving, interior design and remote design. However, Nissan just showed up pictures of Chill-Out as a real car, with three other cars.

The Chill-Out (top and bottom) is a small crossover that could be the first glimpse of the next generation page, which is Nissan. already confirmed they can move from hatch to body crossover style. It will use the CMF-EV Arian platform and e-4orce all-wheel drive, and could be completed by 2025.

The Surf-Out, meanwhile, is a small electric house with a comfortable bed and a removable roof. It can come with the installation of dual-motor AWD with a wide range of power output, providing road services, power supply and additional cargo space.

Then there is the Hang-Out, which is like a small camper / SUV car designed to “provide a new way of wasting time traveling.” It has a flat and moving space, like a theater, providing “comfort of your living room” – which we have seen with some recent EV ideas. It also offers e-4orce as well as advanced ProPilot tools.

Finally, Max-Out is a concept convertible sports car that offers “superior stability and comfort.” Body roll is limited to providing a “dynamic cornering and steering response” to improve performance and comfort the occupant. It is considered to be lightweight and very low in gravity, and also offers high-quality e-4orce.

The new Nissan system comes at a time when the company has faced internal challenges, including the arrest and escape of former CEO Carlos Ghosn. In the short term, the company plans to cut 300 billion yen ($ 2.65 billion) at fixed rate and reduce production by 20 percent as part of “Nissan Next“The plan was unveiled last year.
