They gotta put the new Z body on an electric base. I’d trade up

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!

You really need a source if you're going to say this

He's probably talking about the article released by Mozilla a few weeks ago.

https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/

But basically all car manufacturers have absolutely terrible privacy policies.

I knew that Nissan Sentra was the kiss-and-tell type. never should have slept with that car.

I would guess by either having cameras & microphones in and around the car recording you having sex or talkijg about preferences or by installing their app on your phone it might grant permissions to gather all types of data on you

Future policies work like that. The ban won't have to be enforced, because it'll be irrelevant before it's in effect. UK stepping back won't affect the actual change. Only idiots would invest money in technology that'll be obsolete in the territory "everywhere worldwide (except UK)".

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Nissan will accelerate plans towards electrification by committing that all vehicles sold in Europe will be electric by 2030.

Car trade body the SMMT has voiced concerns that the postponement of the ban would see consumers delay the switch to electric vehicles.

Nissan will also introduce new battery technology by the end of the decade that it said will reduce both the charging time and cost of electric vehicles (EVs).

In an interview with the BBC, Mr Uchida said the company was aiming to bring down the cost of electric vehicles for customers, so that they were no more expensive than petrol and diesel cars.

Last year, it announced plans to invest £1bn in expanding the facility that sits next to its Sunderland car plant.

Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch recently told the BBC the government was optimistic that a deferral could be secured.


The original article contains 502 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Aye! Nice one

UK is not Europe. I wonder if they're exempt? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

There's still an entire article with more information. I just grabbed the first sentence to help you out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

True that. I was incredibly lazy. Thank you though

Electric motors can deliver a lot more torque than ICEs, which makes them very much suitable for towing in terms of power, they just need to deliver larger battery packs to compensate for the weight of the towed vehicles, otherwise the range will be limited.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

That they can. 100% torque at 0 rpm. The issue is reliable distance capabilities in remote areas. Currently, they just can't do it.
