Nissan announces 19 new EVs By 2030 with new Electrification Strategy

Nissan has updated their electrification strategy that will include 19 new EVs by 2030.

Their 2030 strategy includes:

• 19 new EVs and 27 electrified models by fiscal year 2030
• 55% hybrids and EVs by Nissan and Infiniti by 2030
• In Europe, electrified vehicles will be 98% of sales by 2026.
• In the United States, 40% fully zero-emissions cars by 2030.

Nissan sees a growing potential and customer demand for electric and electrified vehicles and wants to speed up its electrification program. The Nissan Ambition 2030 strategy, announced back in 2021, called for 23 electrified and 15 fully electric vehicles to be launched by the end of the decade but in its updated form, the Japanese firm wants to introduce even more hybridized and battery-powered models in order to meet “the needs of individual markets, improve the competitiveness of development, and manufacturing globally.”

Nissan now wants to have no fewer than 19 new electric vehicles and 27 new electrified models by the fiscal year 2030. In its global portfolio, the automaker plans to achieve at least 55 percent hybrids and EVs by that year from its two brands, Nissan and Infiniti. In Europe, electrified vehicles should account for up to 98 percent of the company’s sales by 2026, while in the United States, the target is for 40 percent fully zero-emissions cars by the end of the decade.

According to the updated plan, the company’s global sales mix of electrified vehicles should increase from the previously planned 40 percent to more than 44 percent by 2026. Despite the huge growth in demand for EVs in China, Nissan has a somewhat conservative forecast for its business in the country where it wants to have 35 percent sales of electrified cars by 2026, down from the previously announced 40 percent. However, a dedicated China-only EV will be launched by the marque in 2024.
