Unlocking the Future of EV Batteries
Nissan is on the brink of a significant breakthrough in electric vehicle (EV) technology. With the help of Licap Technologies, they’ve moved a step closer to producing all-solid-state EV batteries, often dubbed the “holy grail” of battery technology. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries promise to cut costs, extend driving range, enable faster charging times, and enhance safety.

The Power of Partnership
Manufacturing innovative battery technology on a mass scale has proven to be a daunting task. However, Nissan believes that their new partnership with US-based Licap Technologies will provide an edge. This alliance focuses on developing a revolutionary dry electrode production process, which is essential for building all-solid-state EV batteries at scale. By employing Licap’s activated dry electrode technology, Nissan anticipates substantial improvements in production efficiency and battery performance.
A Greener Future Ahead
One of the noteworthy benefits of the dry-process method is the elimination of drying and solvent recovery steps, which not only lowers manufacturing costs but also diminishes environmental impact. Nissan has already opened its first all-solid-state battery line at its Yokohama plant in Japan and is committed to launching their first EVs equipped with these advanced batteries by fiscal year 2028. This ambitious plan reflects Nissan’s dedication to leading the charge towards a cleaner, more efficient future in electric mobility.
