Nissan to halt nearly all gasoline engine development in EV shift
 
Nissan to halt nearly all gasoline engine development in EV shift. The U.S. pickup truck market is the only exception.

Nissan's main rival, Toyota, has not made such a commitment, preferring to look at alternatives such as hydrogen fuel cell or hydrogen-combustion engines.

On the contrary, we have many companies that seriously convert to electric cars such as Volvo, Lexus, Daimler, Opel and even VinFast.

I especially interested in VinFast. Their EVs looks promising.

I found that they received nearly 12,000 orders for VinFast VF 8 and VF 9 cars after 6 hours of opening. That's a massive and impressive number for a new brand. They seem pretty confident. Let's see how far they go. https://blogtuan.info/2022/01/06/nearly-12000-orders-for-vinfast-vf-8-and-vf-9-cars-after-6-hours-of-opening/

Completely switching from petrol to electric cars is also a challenging task for the car company. Currently, car manufacturers have switched to electric cars, but only half-gasoline and half-electric-like hybrids.

It's always exciting to hear about new brands planning to enter the EV marketplace, especially VinFast with such aggressive plans. Let's hope things go smoothly for them. We need more brands, more variety, more affordable options asap

I think their decision is entirely unexpected and will probably cause many customers to buy their ICE vehicles. Visually, they are on the right track, but the way they did it make customers unhappy, tbh

Switching to electric cars is only a matter of time, but VinFast doing it so quickly is also a good opportunity.

You will be surprised if you learn more about these electric cars. They were born just 4 years after VinFast started selling their ICE cars. The VF8 and VF9 have already debuted at the LA Auto Show 2022. All 5 models will be sold in the US and Europe from the end of this year. ;)
