If you go and add up all the numbers...it’s not just Nissan in trouble. BMW, VW, Mercedes, and several others are also in a bind because of the money invested in this technology.
The other worry here that is starting to appear....hydrogen-run vehicles are no longer a fantasy. It’s possible that the public may embrace this more....than battery-powered cars.
Add onto this....the ‘forced’ route of telling the public that they cannot buy gas/diesel powered new cars after 2030 (like Germany did). If the public doesn’t latch onto this forced route and lessens all car purchases after 2030....it’d be a major problem for car companies.
Killing the automobile, in all forms, is a liberal's Utopian Fantasy.
Plus Millennials don’t like cars. If they live anywhere where they can walk, pedal or scoot to their destination or do an Uber, or car share like we have here in Indianapolis, they don’t buy cars. That should be a scary thought for all car manufacturers.
