Nissan to sell electricity from renewable energy to employees in Japan
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced it will sell electricity generated from virtually 100% renewable energy to its employees in Japan as parts of its carbon-neutrality efforts. The program will first be made available to employees living in the Kanto region at the start of fiscal year 2022.
Based on the results of field tests utilizing electric vehicles, Nissan will also identify the ideal business partner to offer attractive power pricing plans to owners of Nissan EVs such as the Nissan LEAF and Nissan Ariya.
To promote home-charging by EV users, Nissan began to sell electricity through selected dealerships in 2019. With a view toward future energy management based around EVs, Nissan has also been engaging in various field tests utilizing them in partnership with energy companies.
Nissan has announced that it aims to become carbon neutral throughout the life cycle of its products by 2050. Toward this end, it is working on delivering zero emissions across all aspects of its operations, including development, manufacturing and sales. Nissan is also preparing a business model using electricity from renewable energy that leverages the high-capacity storage capabilities of its EV batteries.
