Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance to produce 35 new EV models by 2030
The Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance confirmed plans for joint EV projects, focusing on “intelligent & connected mobility.”
The alliance will invest €23 billion in the next five years to release 35 EVs by 2030 through five separate platforms. Under the “smart differentiation” strategy, the new platforms will be used across the brands with an 80% common usage to produce the new vehicles by 2026.
The alliance announced the Nissan Micra EV as one of the future EVs, representing a retro-style hatchback.
“Common Roadmap Alliance 2030” also includes many plans, including producing solid-state-batteries:
- Mitsubishi Motors will release two new models based on Renault best sellers,
- A common battery strategy to reach 220 GWh capacity by 2030,
- 25 million vehicles will be connected to the alliance's cloud system, enabling Over-the-Air (OTA) updates,
- Battery costs to be reduced 50% in 2026 and 65% by 2028,
- Nissan will be in charge of producing all solid-state-batteries (ASSB) by 2028.
