NISSAN ENERGY is a service that is designed to maximize the energy efficiency and usage of EVs and its battery. By tapping into the storage potential of EV batteries, NISSAN ENERGY offers eco-friendly energy solutions that can meet the needs of individuals and society.

Nissan aims to create a distributable energy model with EVs at the center that helps stabilize the global supply and demand of electricity.

Leveraging decades of expertise in electric vehicles — including knowledge gained from the development of the Nissan LEAF, the world's first mass-market EV — Nissan will continue to lead in EV innovations and energy technologies that enhance people's journeys and elevate their lives.

Empowering society with Nissan's Energy management model

Technology that supports energy management with EVs and the value if offers

By utilizing (sharing) the electricity stored in Nissan EVs in many ways, Nissan is bringing new value to everyday lifestyles. That value is created through vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology (V2L*¹, V2H*², V2B*³ and V2G*⁴).
