Nissan: All EVs to Europe by 2030

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/nissan-says-all-new-models-coming-europe-will-be-fully-electric-2023-09-25/

" Nissan Motor Co (7201.T) said on Monday all its new European models will be fully electric and it plans to sell only electric vehicles (EVs) on the continent by 2030, joining a growing number of carmakers shifting to electric by the end of the decade."

“Nissan also previously said that by its fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, 98% of its sales in Europe would be electrified - meaning either fully-electric cars or hybrids, which combine a battery and combustion engine.”

" The new goal of going fully electric in Europe by 2030 brings Nissan in line with alliance partner Renault (RENA.PA), which plans to make the Renault brand all electric by then.

Ford and Stellantis also plan to be fully electric in Europe by 2030. Volvo plans to sell only EVs globally by 2030."

Meanwhile, a “thought leader” will be speaking in support of union autoworkers, at a non-union plant in metro Detroit.

EVs are his latest boogyman. Will he propose banning EVs in Shiny-land?

No, but he will be encouraging “made in USA” for all components including batteries and the lithium, nickel, chromium, etc in them.

He’s already doing that! The tax credit aspects in the IRA specifically have rules built-in to them that as the years go by, US content has to increase for the vehicle to remain eligible for the tax credit.

That is the other “he” who pushed through that legislation. Everything from the “thought leader” has to spring from his own mind. Can’t give credit to another “he”, because that would take away from the “genius” of “thought leader”.
