日产敦促英国政府放宽电动汽车目标,因需求放缓

Nissan urges the United Kingdom government to relax electric vehicle targets due to slowing demand.

Nissan on Wednesday urged the united kingdom government to ease regulations on electric vehicles that encourage auto manufacturers to shift from rbob gasoline and diesel cars to electric vehicles.

The zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) directive introduced by the former conservative government in the united kingdom requires that by 2024, at least 22% of new car sales from auto manufacturers must be pure electric vehicles, or they risk facing hefty fines.

Nissan warned that failing to meet this target would result in significant fines for manufacturers, and urged the united kingdom government to provide greater flexibility in crediting, suggesting that due to a slowdown in consumer demand, a two-year monitoring period should be implemented in 2024 and 2025.

Last month, a trade institution warned that the united kingdom is unlikely to meet the ZEV regulations target for 2024.

In 2024, nearly 0.3 million new battery electric vehicles will be on the road in the united kingdom, accounting for 18.1% of the market share so far this year, an increase from last year's 16.3%, yet still below the united kingdom's 22% target.

Due to factors such as a lack of affordable models, slow rollout of charging stations, and escalating trade tensions, the demand for pure electric vehicles has slowed, prompting several global auto manufacturers to reduce their electrification targets.

Nissan stated in a declaration: "This regulation could undermine the business case for manufacturing cars in the united kingdom, as well as the viability of thousands of jobs and billions of british pound investments."
