Japanese automakers Nissan and Honda say they plan to share components for electric vehicles like batteries and jointly research software for autonomous driving.
I assume that’s about the self-driving part rather than the EV part. Honda was the first to actually sell something that met the requirements for the (American) Society of Automotive Engineers’ Levels of Driving Automation that counted as the the human in the driver’s seat not driving
They’re asleep on the wheel though. Even with the partnership with Renault they’re still selling cars with chademo in Europe, that’s a Dead standard that less and less new chargers are supporting today
Nissan was one of the first car companies to ship an EV. Not sure what “catching up” they need to do.
I think it’s related to the rise of China’s BYD.

I thought that was Mercedes (in Nevada), unless you’re talking about sales outside of America.
The catching up that their second EV took a decade and is underwhelming.
