Nissan gets Japanese government’s nod for LFP battery development and production

Nissan Motor Co has announced today that its development and mass production of in-vehicle, lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries has been certified in Japan by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).

Through the development and mass-production of LFP batteries, Nissan intends to establish a base in Japan by strengthening the supply chain of storage batteries, a Japanese government policy, and promoting the use of electric vehicles fitted with LFP batteries.

Nissan president and CEO Makoto Uchida said: “Nissan will adopt LFP batteries to meet the diverse needs of customers and to provide more affordable electric vehicles. The batteries, to be developed and mass-produced in Japan, will be installed in electric mini-vehicles starting in fiscal year 2028. We aim to establish a base for LFP batteries in Japan by making the most of the government support approved by METI.”
