Nissan has declared the end of internal combustion in Europe with the announcement that every new model introduced in Europe will be exclusively electric from here on out. This decision signals an end to the internal combustion era for Nissan as the automaker envisions its entire European lineup will be fully electric by 2030.
According to Nissan, they say that the company is pressing forward with the shift to electrification as more and more countries deliberate when they will ban the sales of combustion engines. The word “when” is important as it no longer asks if internal combustion engines will live on, but when they will be phased out.

The Japanese automaker has provided limited details regarding their forthcoming lineup; however, they have announced their ambitious plan to introduce 19 EVs worldwide by 2030. At least two of these EVs are destined for the European market, with Nissan confirming their intentions to produce a successor to the Micra and another model at their Sunderland manufacturing facility.
Furthermore, part of Nissan’s broader electric strategy, includes a commitment to eliminating the use of cobalt in their batteries. This strategic move is anticipated to result in a significant 65 percent reduction in battery production costs by the fiscal year 2028.
It’s not all doom and gloom for the automotive world as Nissan also unveiled images of the 20-23 concept alongside its announcement. The Micra-sized 20-30 Concept serves as a tantalizing preview of the electric future, drawing inspiration from Nissan’s Formula E racecar. Nissan has not provided any concrete details on this hot hatch, so details like the powertrain and equipment will be revealed further down the road. What we do know is that the 20-23 Concept has scissor doors, which is definitely more than enough to keep us excited about Nissan’s future.
