Nissan is working with their research and analysis arm, Nissan Arc Ltd., to increase the performance and power of their lithium-ion batteries.
This new venture is in response to the automaker’s continued concentration on green cars, including zero-emissions electric vehicles. Nissan is looking for a way to increase the capacity of their lithium-ion batteries in the hopes of extending their cars’ driving ranges, giving customers much more flexibility and time.
“The invention of this new analysis method is essential to further develop the next generation of high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. It will certainly become one of our core technologies. The utilization of this analysis method in our future R&D will surely contribute to extending the cruising range of future zero-emission vehicles,” said Takao Asami, senior vice president of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and President of Nissan Arc Ltd.
Nissan has long been one of the loudest proponents of creating mass-produced clean energy cars, especially electric cars. Their electric Leaf has been the bestselling electric car in the world for years now, highlighting exactly why shoppers continue to choose Nissan for their next green car.
“Nissan is exploring a wide range of energy sources for tomorrow’s vehicles, and we recognize our role in continuously investing in multiple technologies and intelligent mobility,” said Schillaci.
We are excited to see the new higher-capacity batteries come to Nissan’s new line of cars and SUVs. For now, visit us today to take the top-selling Nissan LEAF for a test drive!
