@Tim Manriquez In reply to Tim Manriquez. Good Luck to you. I intend to sell soon. Just trying to minimize my loss. Have been holding this for too long and it's just not worth the opportunity cost to me. From 230 000 cars by year end to 180 000 and they are so far off from their target. They have been over promising and under delivering for way too long and it's almost comical that they can still post positive news.

Nissan e-Power hybrid tech might evolve for US on the way to EVs

Since the introduction of its e-Power series-hybrid system seven years ago, Nissan has refined the tech and leaned on it as the path toward a fully electric future for the brand.
