Carmaker says it will ‘press ahead’ with plans to achieve 100% EV in Europe and all new models will be entirely electric
No car company is going to suddenly change plans, that would make no sense, especially when the government shows they are unreliable anyway.
Yea sunaks change doesn’t matter, bigger markets already have full ev rules by x date and Nissan (and others) have aligned their business to meet those. Likely at costs of tens of billions in r&d and factory retooling, they aren’t going to switch back to ICE because the UK pushed their date by a few years
Especially when the party who are massively ahead in the polls have said they’ll reintroduce the 2030
whenif they get elected.Please can we not get too complacent? I want the Tories gone, but let’s not take for granted that them losing next year is a done deal.
Can see it now.
30% under 25 turnout. 100% 60+…
Who cares. Electric Cars aren’t a solution to anything, and if climate change was actually the priority of any government the discussion would be phasing out personal Automobiles by 2030, not talking about EVs.
I care, they are a solution to the pollution caused by cars burning gas.
The damage cars do to our society go way beyond burning gas.
The perfect is the enemy of the something something
Dumb dumb dumb.
“Hospitals to enact rule compelling doctors and surgeons to wash hands.”
“Who cares? That won’t get rid of all bacteria and viruses existing, just reduce infection rates and improve the entire healthcare industry.”
Washing hands is a solution to patients dying after doctors perform autopsies. Electric cars exist to save the automobile industry which is an industry and societal structure that shouldn’t exist in the first place.
Dumb Dumb Dumb.
Not sure how that would work if your job involves traveling, or you live in a rural area (in countries like Australia, we’re not dense). Also, we have plenty of real estate, so Solar is actually very doable.
That being said, here in Melbourne, there has been a lot of emphasis on improving transport recently (they’re getting rid of most of the railway crossings, building some new rail links, approving scooters for public use, new bike lanes and such). Governments are working on reducing reliance on Automobiles already in a lot of countries
It’s better than literally nothing but not great, yes
But but but remote combustion vehicles are going to get us to net zero.
The religion of insanely expensive remote combustion vehicles is pure entertainment gold
Our entire cities are built wrong for that approach. I’m with you on the spirit, I mean, building suburban sprawl post-2000 should be a literal crime with jail time. But the fact is that our cities are what they are. Suburbia is built for cars, and there’s a crap load of it that people will still be living in post-2030.
how will people afford these cars!? they are so expensive.
Lots of new battery technologies are coming out at the moment. Also, if the market only has EV’s, there is more competition, and it will reduce prices.
I really look forward to being able to sit in a traffic jam without any petrol fumes. The cost of improvement to people’s health should also be fairly decent
Subsidize them or don’t tax them as much. Norwegians do not have much issue affording them compared to ICE vehicles.
I didn’t fancy Nissan before and now even less https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/
So if you buy a Nissan for your teenage kid, is Nissan still allowed to track and share their sexual escapades performed within the vehicle?
Also, how do they know when you’re engaged in sexual activity? Heart monitors in the seats? Humidity sensors in the AC unit? Or is it cameras in the cabin? Cause that’s a very fine line to walk.
I would imagine it gathers data like that from your phone if/when you connect that to your car. Probably via the integrated health tracking stuff. I imagine Nissan forces you to share all data but maybe it’s possible to opt out or choose what to share?
My phone knows when I have sex? I mean, it’s on the nightstand so… maybe, but, how? It’s not like we’re wearing our watches to bed.
I think it’s more like your health app has the ability to record that data if you put it in there. Just like how it can record your weight if you log your weight every day or how it could record your heart rate if you wear a connected watch which can log that data.
It doesn’t just “know” but I think if you have the data logged that is what it will share.
