At a news conference in Japan the car manufacturer revealed it will develop 23 new electric models by 2030.
By that time, the firm aims for half its global output to be made up of electric vehicles.
Nissan said it will spend two trillion yen, around $A24.7 billion, on electric vehicles over the next five years.
Chief executive Makoto Uchida said the role of companies in addressing societal needs was heightening.
“With Nissan Ambition 2030, we will drive the new age of electrification, advance technologies to reduce carbon footprint and pursue new business opportunities,” he said on Monday.
“We want to transform Nissan to become a sustainable company that is truly needed by customers and society.”
Nissan has plans to bring in all-solid-state batteries by 2028, which will be one-third quicker to charge.
Earlier this year it announced its EV360Zero system in England, bringing together a new battery plant and locally sourced green energy to power production, and the firm said it will expand the concept in other markets around the world.
