Nissan announced Monday that as part of an accelerated shift to electrified and fully electric vehicles it sees 55% of global mix made up by \u201celectrified\u201d vehicles by 2030\u2014up from its previous 50% forecast<\/a>. Although after the solidification of various pieces of Biden administration EV policy, it hasn\u2019t set any higher target for the U.S. market.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Under the stronger embrace of EVs and hybrids, Nissan now sees 98% of models in Europe electrified, up from 75% as projected in its original Nissan Ambition 2030 plan presented in November 2021.<\/p>\n

The target for Japan has been nudged up to 58%, from 55%, while China\u2019s has been dropped to 35%, from the previous 40%\u2014overall shifting the portion of electrified vehicles in its global sales mix up to 44% by 2026, from the previous 40%.<\/p>\n

That includes markets like South America, which are anticipated to be somewhat slower with EV adoption. Meanwhile, the company\u2019s U.S. projection remains the same\u2014at 40% fully electric vehicles by 2030.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nissan emphasizes that its e-Power series hybrid system, which it has positioned since 2016 as building on its electric-car expertise<\/a>, is an important part of that. While the automaker has suggested in recent years that it\u2019s preparing U.S. models that will use e-Power\u2014at last check, in a hybrid system that prioritizes performance<\/a>\u2014there\u2019s been no recent update on when it\u2019s arriving for the market.<\/p>\n

Last February, the company announced plans to build two fully electric models in Mississippi<\/a>, starting in 2025. One of those will be a Nissan-brand vehicle expected to replace the gasoline Maxima, while the other will be the first U.S.-market EV for Infiniti.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nissan\u2019s Infiniti luxury brand had seen a version of e-Power as the core tech for its transition for EVs<\/a>, allowing a quicker embrace of EVs. But all of those Q Inspiration models have been canceled<\/a>, along with the brand\u2019s rapid electrification.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year a report also suggested that Nissan may be the first major Japanese automaker to announce the end of internal combustion engine development<\/a>, but the automaker called it speculation and hasn\u2019t yet made that move official.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Nissan sees solid-state battery tech<\/a> as a key piece for cutting EV battery pack costs in the future, and it\u2019s one of few automakers to invest in its own development of the tech, including a pilot battery plant.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
