Several manufacturers are working on solid-state technology, but it continues to be elusive. Nissan has revealed that its next-generation technology will arrive in 2028. No specifications were shared, but Nissan did say that charging times were three times faster and that there would be two different battery sizes. One is for light use for a car like the Leaf, while the other is more heavy-duty, potentially for an electric successor to the Titan or any of the other trucks in the Renault/Nissan/Mitsubishi Alliance.
BMW has stated that we won’t see its solid-state technology until 2030. It was supposed to debut with the first Neue Klasse EVs, but mass production won’t be viable until the arrival of the next decade.
Even Toyota has backpedaled since its announcement, stating that mass production won’t be possible until 2030. Honda has also invested in the technology, stating that it is the key to making EVs affordable, but across the board, every manufacturer seems to have issues with ramping up production.
