Sunderland, the UK’s largest car plant, will make all-electric future versions of the Qashqai, JUKE and LEAF models. Nissan said today that this will comprise three electric vehicles (EVs), three gigafactories and up to £3bn investment. Both vehicle and battery manufacturing will be powered by the EV36Zero Microgrid, which will incorporate the wind and solar farms at Nissan and will have the capability to deliver 100% renewable electricity to Nissan and its neighboring suppliers. Nissan has ~7000 UK employees and says ~30,000 jobs are supported in the UK supply chain, which remains under threat because of the UK Brexit folly, which ignored ~£71 billion or more contribution to the ailing British economy.
