I don't know whether it's realistic target, they still try to catch with constant decline after Ghosn being ousted.

Just imagine how Nissan would be placed now, had it continue full development of the Leaf.

At this point, Nissan would need to make a car that flies and transforms into a motorbike to get me to buy their brand.

The brand is tainted with Ghosn all over it.

It’s not an adapted technology or electric revolution. We are only forced to use it, by legislation, tax measures, media propaganda. There’s a difference @mammamia, if everyone really wants it or if everyone has no other choice left and only buys it if there’s no other possibility left.

"and in my cases they prefer to slowly die then [sic] to adapt..."

Incorrect.

Good for Nissan.

Nissan will be the number one carmaker in the next decade!

-5 ( +0 / -5 )

nobody want to buy from NISSAN.

the dirty company has no credibility after their fake accusation made to fire carlos goshn.

in about 5 years, the headline will be, "Nissan accelerating move away from electric" as the whole scam becomes untenable

Hybrids (good ones, not F1 cars) are great, but they are still petrol powered and far closer to conventional cars than all electric ones. If they are being referred to in the same terms as electric cars, this suggests to me that the switch to electric cars is well behind schedule and that any future legislation banning petrol cars won't happen on the stated timeframe. Cars now pollute more at the tyres than the tailpipe, which limits what going electric can achieve anyway.

I have nothing against electric cars but I still honestly don’t understand how we can switch to electric cars when the current power grid can’t handle ongoing demands demands.

If Toyota and Honda can't even win the upcoming automotive wars against EVs, Nissan, and other Japanese automakers won't stand a chance.

Toyota's 2025 plan to make full EVs is ridiculously slow and loss-creating.

Electric cars are not at all sustainable as the climate fear mongers claim. They require mining metals for batteries that flatten mountains and devastate the forests not to mention the child labor involve in mining. They will suck the energy from the grid that is powered mostly by coal. They will exhaust the energy that will lower energy supply and it even more expensive. R cars won’t be able to travel long distances because of the limited charging stations and because of the length of charging time. Why the push for e cars? Because the Iliad want control over all the world and you will be restricted to 15-minute cities. They can remotely stop your car if you are trying to get away because it is computerized and electric. So there you go.

Having owned our first electric car for 6 months, we are about to trade in our remaining oil-burner for another.

Don't believe the naysayers pushing the old performance issues. Even our electric small car is adequate for rural UK, the new one will have twice the range making it suitable for national UK travel.

A complete disaster waiting to happen! This will financially burden Nissan even further.

I have nothing against electric cars but I still honestly don’t understand how we can switch to electric cars when the current power grid can’t handle ongoing demands demands.

And then thats only after we must swallow the lie that fossil fuels are destroying the planet.

(hint; They aren't)
