Nissan NEC loses share in 2015 EV battery sales
EV Sales recently published electric vehicle (EV) battery sales figures for December 2015, allowing annual figures to be put together, and they make for interesting reading. Unsurprisingly, Panasonic comes in as the clear leader for the year, accounting for 40% of total EV battery sales, with BYD and LG Chem continuing to grow and coming in second and third with 14% and 13% respectively. Worth noting from the report is this statement: “AESC, the joint venture between NEC and Nissan, continues to lose share (Down 12%(!) YoY), with Leaf sales losing steam and with Nissan outsourcing batteries to LG in the future, the future is bleak for the Joint Venture.”
