Yeah because they know that what the Tories announce at this point is essentially just irrelevant and shouldn’t be taken the seriously.
They have a whole world market to serve, I don’t think they give a fuck about UK politics
I want the Tories out NOW but I think we still have another year or 2 with them :/
They gotta put the new Z body on an electric base. I’d trade up
the petrol ban delay wouldn’t have happened if THE GOVERNMENT WASN’T SO INCOMPETENT!! I don’t see any initiatives to build electric car charger infrastructure everywhere!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nissan will accelerate plans towards electrification by committing that all vehicles sold in Europe will be electric by 2030.
Car trade body the SMMT has voiced concerns that the postponement of the ban would see consumers delay the switch to electric vehicles.
Nissan will also introduce new battery technology by the end of the decade that it said will reduce both the charging time and cost of electric vehicles (EVs).
In an interview with the BBC, Mr Uchida said the company was aiming to bring down the cost of electric vehicles for customers, so that they were no more expensive than petrol and diesel cars.
Last year, it announced plans to invest £1bn in expanding the facility that sits next to its Sunderland car plant.
Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch recently told the BBC the government was optimistic that a deferral could be secured.

Hopefully they start using active cooling on their batteries…
I just got the Ariya which has active cooling. I think the leaf still doesn’t though.
What are your initial impressions of the Ariya?
I’m assuming this affects any Electron app as well, right?
Wrong post?
Lost lemmings…
Hhmm what about their navaras, patrols, etc? Electric can’t tow caravans, trailers, etc around the Australian outback yet. Is this just UK?
The very first sentence of the article:
Nissan will accelerate plans towards electrification by committing that all vehicles sold in Europe will be electric by 2030.
Aye! Nice one
Electric motors can deliver a lot more torque than ICEs, which makes them very much suitable for towing in terms of power, they just need to deliver larger battery packs to compensate for the weight of the towed vehicles, otherwise the range will be limited.
That they can. 100% torque at 0 rpm. The issue is reliable distance capabilities in remote areas. Currently, they just can’t do it.
Aren’t their gas cars already catching on fire? They might wanna like… Iron that out before making evs.
Nothing they do to stop the combustion engine fires from getting out of control, will be applicable to preventing fires in electric cars.
Sure, but the fact that they’re selling fucking bombs isn’t exactly comforting, especially when ev fires are significantly more devastating and harder to extinguish than gas car fires.
Lol I think their incompetent QA/QC department would like to speak with you.
Nissan vehicles are hot garbage. Go drive a Leaf sometime and see for yourself
Huh? I’ve had a 2018 base model Leaf for over 4 years, and here’s the sum total of my issues:
-
Car didn’t recognize the door was closed at one point, preventing me from shifting out of park (issue was due to dents in frame caused by occasionally closing the door on the seat belt buckle, which was positioned at the same height as the sensor switch built into the door that gets depressed when door is closed. Fixed in 5 minutes by wadding up a small ball of packing tape and taping it to the frame where it comes in contact with the sensor switch)
-
It occasionally doesn’t load the Bluetooth module properly, fixed by restarting the car
That’s literally it. It’s been rock solid otherwise, and it gets driven literally every day.
-
It’s odd because I always considered them right up there with Toyota and Honda but between their transmission and engine issues over the past decade they’re clearly not in the same league.
