The Renault Nissan and Mitsubishi alliance has revealed plans for 35 electric cars in 2030 following investment of 23 billion euros during the next five years in common platforms, connected mobility and pure electric powertrains.

It hopes to have 80% of all its 90 models on common platforms from 2026, and a common battery strategy aimed to secure a global 220 giggawatt-hour production capacity by 2030.

Nissan will lead the development of all-solid-state battery technology for all three carmakers, while Renault will lead development of common centralised electrical and electronic architecture.

Based on five common EV platforms, the alliance says it will have 35 electric cars from 2030.

In Europe Nissan, which said last November it will have 15 EVs by the end of the decade, will replace the Micra with a new EV based on the CMF-BEV alliance platform which will be launched in 2024, shared with the Renault R5, and built in France.
