25th March 2024
Nissan has announced that, in the face of intense Chinese competition, they are going to reduce the cost of manufacturing electric cars by 30%. They think that greater concentration on EVs, battery innovation, modular manufacturing and bulk-buying of parts - all benefiting from economies of scale - will give them greater price competitiveness. All great applied micro!
Nissan is targeting an additional 1 million unit sales in the next three years and a 30% reduction in electric vehicle production costs by 2030. https://t.co/6ILTIpTkVJ
