Nissan e.dams driver Oliver Rowland drove a commanding race from pole position on the grid to take his first Formula E win in the penultimate round of the six-round ABB FIA Formula E Championship season finale in Berlin. Rowland led every lap of the race and qualified top of his group before going on to take the top spot in the Super Pole qualifying session. He also had the fastest lap of the race.

Teammate Sebastien Buemi battled his way up to P10 and into the points on a new Berlin Tempelhof Airport circuit layout, after not setting a time in qualifying and starting the race in P22.

“An incredible race for the team today and an impressive victory for Oli,” said Tommaso Volpe, Nissan global motorsports director. “We had great pace in qualifying and the race, without sacrificing energy efficiency, which is the perfect scenario in Formula E. The team is fired up for the final race tomorrow and will race hard to secure P2 in the team championship.”

VICTORY FOR @OliverRowland1! ?

Oli & the @Nissanedams team hard work has paid off and his fantastic racing secures him a deserved P1 at the @FIAFormulaE #BerlinEPrix

This solid haul of team points means that Nissan e.dams maintains second in the team championship with one race left of season six. With his win, pole and fastest lap, and 29 points scored, Rowland, advances to second in the driver championship, with Buemi in the eighth.  

Nissan participates in Formula E to bring the excitement of its powerful EV performance to racing fans worldwide, and to demonstrate the power and performance of its zero-emission EV technology.

“Fantastic lights to flag victory for Oli,” said Olivier Driot, Nissan e.dams team principal. “The team performed brilliantly to prepare the race cars for both drivers, and Seb showed his champion’s spirit and skill by racing from P22 to P10. The team has worked very hard in Berlin for this season finale and that work is paying off. We look forward to the last race.”

Staged behind closed doors at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport circuit, the last pair of three double-header races takes place on Aug. 12 and 13, on a different track layout to the prior two double-headers.

Nissan’s new brand logo features across the Nissan e.dams team garage, race cars and driver suits throughout the Berlin finale. The new logo was unveiled at the July 15 world premiere of the all-new Nissan Ariya, a 100% electric crossover SUV.

Nissan has licensed an advanced technology to APB Corporation that will allow mass production of lower-cost, safer lithium-ion batteries with increased charging capacity.

Backed by investment from major companies, Tokyo-based APB plans to build a factory in Japan that will use Nissan’s technology to make all-polymer batteries for storage use.

All-polymer batteries are said to be the next generation of lithium-ion batteries. Nissan’s technology, known as bipolar structure all-polymer battery technology, will help consumers and communities to more effectively using low-cost or renewable energy at a lower initial cost.

“We believe the widespread adoption of this technology will contribute to fulfilling the U.N.’s sustainable development goals and help realize a sustainable, low-carbon society,” said Hideki Kimata, vice president of the corporate strategy and business development division at Nissan.

Nissan began researching and developing lithium-ion batteries in the early 1990s. In 1997, Nissan launched the Prairie Joy EV and became a pioneer in installing lithium-ion batteries in commercial electric cars. Since then, Nissan has continued to research core technologies and pursue innovation in the field of EV batteries.

Bipolar structure all-polymer battery technology: an overview Nissan lithium battery

In an all-polymer battery with a bipolar structure, the liquid electrolyte and metal electrodes used in conventional batteries are replaced with polymers. The front and back of the battery cell are made of a polymer current collector. The front and back each have a negative or positive polarity and forms part of the battery case. By stacking a number of these cells together, and assembled battery with a bipolar structure is created.

The technology increases charging capacity relative to battery volume, while also enhancing safety by replacing liquid electrolytes with polymers. The simplified structure also lowers cost.

Application to stationary batteries

Mainstream use of stationary batteries with this technology will help individual customers make effective use of low-cost electricity, such as renewable energy from solar panels or electricity purchased from the grid during off-peak hours, with a smaller initial investment.

As a result, local communities can limit electricity use during peak hours and use power in a more stable and efficient manner. This reduces the risk of blackouts due to disasters or technical failures and can contribute to a safer, cleaner energy supply.

NISSAN'S NEW COMPACT SUV - BABY KICKS

BYD AND TOYOTA'S JOINT VENTURE TO MAKE BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLE

The Nissan Ariya, the company's first all-electric SUV, will be able to drive up to 600 Kilometers on a single charge and features a high-tech interior, with no buttons or knobs, according to the Nissan.

The vehicle was unveiled during an online event Wednesday.

Nissan becomes one of the first major car companies to offer an all-electric car when it introduced the Leaf in 2010.

CEO Makoto Uchida and Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta unveiled the Ariya to a global audience during a live-streamed event at the new Nissan Pavilion in Yokohama.

“The Nissan Ariya is a truly beautiful and remarkable car,” Gupta said. “It enables you to go further, easier, and in comfort. The Ariya is designed to impress, and to express what Nissan strives for – making our customers’ lives better.”

The all-new Nissan Ariya is scheduled to go on sale in Japan in mid-2021. It will be priced at around 5 million yen. The Ariya is planned to go on sale in Europe, North America, and China by the end of 2021.

Nissan Ariya Features

Powerful performance for a wide range of needs

The car’s all-electric drivetrain combines excellent power delivery, charging capabilities, and range. Customers can choose from multiple configurations to meet their individual needs. These include two-wheel-drive and e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive versions, as well as two different battery sizes.

Advanced design and technology for stress-free driving

Drivers will feel more confident and less stressed thanks to the ProPILOT 2.0 advanced driver assistance system and the ProPILOT Remote Park and e-Pedal features. Also standard across the Ariya lineup is Nissan’s Safety Shield system. This includes Intelligent Around View Monitor, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Emergency Braking, and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking technology.

Spacious, flat-floor cabin

Nissan’s designers took advantage of the car’s new EV platform, which allows for a flat floor, and its compact climate control components to give the Ariya the most spacious cabin in its class. The lounge-like interior, featuring Zero Gravity seats, provides a welcoming and comfortable environment for drivers and passengers alike.
