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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
