Nissan develops battery that charges in 5 minutes

Nissan has confirmed plans to launch its next-generation solid-state battery (ASSB) by the end of fiscal year 2028, speedme.ru reports. This advanced technology uses a lithium anode and sulfur-based electrolyte, delivering an impressive energy density of 1000 Wh/L and enabling up to 65% charge in just 5 minutes.

That figure far exceeds today’s lithium-ion batteries, which are typically limited to around 700 Wh/L. The company has already begun pilot production and is finalizing engineering work.

Nissan’s ASSB will be used in electric and hybrid vehicles, including large SUVs. Key benefits include high thermal resistance, longer lifespan, and lighter weight, making it ideal for commercial vehicles and budget-friendly hybrids.

The battery may use NMC, NM, or sulfur-manganese cathodes, avoiding the need for expensive cobalt. Nissan remains one of the few automakers actively working to deploy ASSB technology by 2030, staying ahead in the innovation race.
