Nissan to go all-electric by 2030 despite petrol ban delay::The carmaker moves ahead with its plan despite delays to the UK’s ban on new petrol and diesel cars.
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!
I’d have to agree with some of the proposed ban dates here in the US as well. You can’t just mandate something without also building up the infrastructure to support it. 2030 will be here in the blink of an eye but it doesn’t seem like there is any rush to build out public charging stations, mandate chargers in places like apartment complexes, or upgrade the grid to handle this new load. I suspect a lot of these will get pushed back as their dates approach. It’s very easy to say “at ABC point in the future all things must be XYZ.” It’s much more difficult to actually have things ready for that proposed date.
Reminder:
Nissan cars collect sexual activity and genetics data
You really need a source if you’re going to say this
He’s probably talking about the article released by Mozilla a few weeks ago.
…mozilla.org/…/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-pr…
But basically all car manufacturers have absolutely terrible privacy policies.
Like from the backseat?
I knew that Nissan Sentra was the kiss-and-tell type. never should have slept with that car.
Wait how?
I would guess by either having cameras & microphones in and around the car recording you having sex or talkijg about preferences or by installing their app on your phone it might grant permissions to gather all types of data on you
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?
Future policies work like that. The ban won’t have to be enforced, because it’ll be irrelevant before it’s in effect. UK stepping back won’t affect the actual change. Only idiots would invest money in technology that’ll be obsolete in the territory “everywhere worldwide (except UK)”.
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.
The original article contains 502 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 72%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Aren’t their gas cars already catching on fire? They might wanna like… Iron that out before making evs.
Technologically irrelevant.
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 missing QA/QC department would like to speak with you.
Nissan vehicles are hot garbage. Go drive a Leaf sometime and see for yourself
I’m assuming this affects any Electron app as well, right?
Wrong post?
Lost lemmings…

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

However Nissan do have R&D and manufacturing facilities in the UK, so the law would affect them directly … also, outside the EU has anyone else proposed a set date to end ICE car sales?

I want the Tories out NOW but I think we still have another year or 2 with them :/
