"Nissan recently announced a new £13 billion investment to help transition its
business to being focused around electric vehicles (EVs). The investment is
centred around its Sunderland plant in the north east of England, which already
makes the popular Nissan Leaf, and a plan to build 23 new electric models by
2030.
But Nissan, like most traditional automakers, has a long way to go if it wants
to catch Tesla. Elon Musk’s company is easily the biggest seller of EVs in the
world, with the Model 3 and Model Y shifting around 230,000 vehicles per
quarter between them worldwide. China’s SAIC is in second place thanks to its
Wuling Hingguang Mini, which is the best selling EV in China. After that come
Volkswagen, BYD and Hyundai.
So why are many of the traditional players that have built their businesses on
internal combustion engines so far behind Musk, and can Nissan buck the trend?"
