Nissan aims 40 per cent of its cars sold in US to be electric by 2030
Nissan has itself an ambitious target to achieve more than 40 percent of its total car sales in US to be electric vehicles by 2030. Nissan Motor has already announced that it aims to achieve carbon neutrality across the company’s operations and the life cycle of its products by 2050.
According to Nissan's plans, every vehicle coming out of its facilities will be electrified by the early 2030s. Nissan had announced its intention to bring affordable electric vehicles to the masses around the world when Nissan launched the Leaf electric car in 2010.
