A report suggests that the two Japanese automakers are considering a joint venture, in light of increased pressure from Chinese EV makers
Nissan, an early pioneer of EVs, may join forces with fellow Japanese automaker Honda to reduce the costs of their electric cars in an increasingly competitive market. This move arises as Chinese automakers persist in providing more affordable alternatives, benefiting from their capability to utilize in-house components like batteries. It wouldn't be the first EV-related joint venture for Honda.
However, the Leaf has had less success since then, and Nissan has become less competitive in the EV field as time has gone on. In the US, it only offers one other battery electric model besides the Leaf: the Ariya crossover SUV. The proposed joint venture with Honda will focus on reducing development costs by introducing a common drivetrain shared by both companies.
