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.
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?
Yes. There’s a map and list here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_fossil_fuel_vehicles
Belgiums looking good there!
It’s good to see that there’s a few other countries going for it too, I guess there’s large parts of the world where it’s going to be near impossible though due to distances and lack of electricity (until solar cars are cheap and plentiful, but we might have all perished by then, lol)

Nissan cars collect sexual activity and genetics dataYou really need a source if you’re going to say this
They gotta put the new Z body on an electric base. I’d trade up
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)”.
Hhmm what about their navaras, patrols, etc? Electric can’t tow caravans, trailers, etc around the Australian outback yet. Is this just UK?
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.
