Nissan to Invest $1.4 Billion for EV Production in UK

Three new electric models, including versions of the Qashqai and Juke, to be produced at Sunderland plant

Nissan has confirmed plans to produce three new electric vehicles (EVs) at its Sunderland plant in the UK, including an EV version of the Qashqai and Juke, and a new version of the Leaf.
The Japanese automaker will invest $1.4 billion for the production of these EVs, which also includes the establishment of a new gigafactory for EV batteries.
Nissan's investment is seen as a significant boost for the UK's automotive industry and the country's economy, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressing his support.
The company aims to electrify its entire European passenger car lineup by 2030, with these new models playing a crucial role in achieving this target.
Nissan's commitment to EV production in the UK follows similar moves by other automakers, including BMW and Tata Sons, indicating a growing shift towards EV production in the country.
