Nissan slashing EV costs, cutting rare materials use

Waiting for 30% less in 2026

Will it be with less 30% of autonomy ?

*Nissan Motor Co is revving up its electrification shift and slashing costs by using the same components across models and reducing use of expensive rare materials.*

Holy crap! This is the making of another Takata airbag crisis. Cutting quality corners to save costs is never good!

nissan ev?no thanks.

I do not think using common components across multiple models is cutting corners. It can mean that multiple models share things like the CANBus controller, instruments (different facias for different models but the same guts behind the different facias), common infotainment systems, common engine, suspension and brake components, window lift components, switches and the like.
