Nissan To Launch Only EVs In Europe From Now On, Drop ICEs By 2030
Nissan To Launch Only EVs In Europe From Now On, Drop ICEs By 2030
Nissan confirmed two future electric models for Europe – the successor to the Leaf that will enter production in Sunderland in 2026 and the compact Micra EV.
Looks like they’re mostly continuing their stance announced earlier this year
Nissan raised its targets for EVs earlier this year, pledging to launch 19 new battery-electric models by 2030. It also said that by the 2026 fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, 98 percent of its sales in Europe would be electrified – fully electric cars and hybrids combined.
That looks like a freaking rally car! 17 year old me would have loved it!
Nissan's marketshare in Europe is around 2%. They aren't exactly sacrificing a huge percent of sales by doing this even if a huge percent of people are simply not ready yet.
But it says something to everyone else.
Hope their EV's turn out better than the JATCO debacle.
I mean they were the top selling ev for a long time took Tesla overtook them. They sat on their yannys too long.
Now they just need to get some compelling EVs made.
Wow that car looks petty neat. I always thought the Leaf was a pretty decent EV (and one of the first more well known ones) and it felt like they never really innovated on it too much. Perhaps this is finally the point where they start doing that again.
Leaf needed water-cooling / active heating on the battery. The batteries wear quickly with simple air cooling.
We have a family friend with a Leaf. They like it a lot.
We have a 2015, it's a great car but very short range. Has more space than our bolt, it's like the perfect urban small family car.
Wish they just made the Idx but as an ev.
OMG please
Might as well. Then their customers won't have to worry about junk CVTs.
