The purpose of the present invention is to provide a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery which has improved output characteristics. One embodiment of the present invention is a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery which is provided with an electrode body that has a structure wherein a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate are laminated with a separator being interposed therebetween. The positive electrode plate contains, as a positive electrode active material, a lithium transition metal oxide that contains tungsten, and also contains a phosphoric acid compound. The negative electrode plate contains, as negative electrode active materials, a graphite carbon material and an amorphous carbon material having no specific shape, and comprises a coating film of tungsten or a tungsten compound on the surface of the amorphous carbon material having no specific shape.
