While in Japan and China, Nissan targets electric car sales to reach 55 percent. As for the US, Nissan is targeting 40 percent of EV sales by 2030.
“With Nissan Ambition 2030, we will drive a new era of electrification, advance technology to reduce our carbon footprint, and pursue new business opportunities,” said Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida.
We want to turn Nissan into a sustainable company that customers and society really need,” he said.
To achieve its vision, Nissan will continue to improve its current lithium-ion battery technology and introduce cobalt-free technology to lower battery costs by 65 percent by 2028.
