Nissan to go all-electric by 2030 despite petrol ban delay::The carmaker moves ahead with its plan despite delays to the UK’s ban on new petrol and diesel cars.
the petrol ban delay wouldn’t have happened if THE GOVERNMENT WASN’T SO INCOMPETENT!! I don’t see any initiatives to build electric car charger infrastructure everywhere!
Hopefully they start using active cooling on their batteries…
I just got the Ariya which has active cooling. I think the leaf still doesn’t though.
What are your initial impressions of the Ariya?
It’s been great so far, but it’s my first EV so comparisons are difficult. It checked all the major boxes I was looking for, particularly AWD and range close to 300mi. It has a lot of creature comforts that were an upgrade from the Impreza I had previously, but nothing you can’t get in an ICE; heated steering and seats, remote climate control, and other tech upgrades.
If you like buttons and knobs then you might not like the Ariya; they went for a very minimalist design and most controls are on the touch screen. That hasn’t been too much of an issue for me.
The plus models with eForce are plenty quick (scared the shit out of my wife the first time we gunned it down the freeway). It is heavy though, as one would expect. Overall, for the price point it’s a solid choice if you want something more like an SUV than the ioniq 5 or the EV6. The overall build quality seems quite good (Hyundai and Kia appears just felt a little flimsy to me). I am quite happy with it so far.
Good to hear it’s decent. The more competitors in the mid-price EV market, the better
I’m assuming this affects any Electron app as well, right?
Wrong post?
Lost lemmings…
Hhmm what about their navaras, patrols, etc? Electric can’t tow caravans, trailers, etc around the Australian outback yet. Is this just UK?
The very first sentence of the article:
Nissan will accelerate plans towards electrification by committing that all vehicles sold in Europe will be electric by 2030.
Aye! Nice one
UK is not Europe. I wonder if they’re exempt? 🤔
There’s still an entire article with more information. I just grabbed the first sentence to help you out.
True that. I was incredibly lazy. Thank you though
Aren’t their gas cars already catching on fire? They might wanna like… Iron that out before making evs.
