Pushed by the strict time limits for the reduction of polluting emissions imposed by the European administration, car manufacturers are making a tremendous economic effort to completely transform the energy nature of their commercial ranges.
In order to meet the ambitious decarbonization goals required by regulations, it is clear that, from a strictly industrial point of view, the only viable option in the short term is to bet on the electric car powered by batteries.
Another interesting alternative is hydrogen, but the long periods of technological development of this energy source, combined with the lack of recharging infrastructure, condemn it to follow a secondary route, destined to speed up, if necessary, in the future quite a bit. far.
Its defenders use reasoned arguments when they argue that it is an ideal solution for vehicles intended for the transport of goods by road, since it allows refueling in the same time as diesel, and avoids the costs and weight of gigantic sets of batteries.
But the energy equation of the current panorama can change very soon. If the optimistic forecasts announced by the engineers working on the development of solid-state batteries are confirmed, they should quickly establish their advantages. Apparently, this technical variant will cut production costs in half, in addition to doubling the energy storage capacity and tripling the charging speed.
At the moment, Nissan has already announced that in 2028 it will launch two cars equipped with this promising technology.
