Based entirely on their MX-30 car design, I'd believe it. It's a fairly stupid design that slavishly mimics many aspects of the much and controversial older BMW i3.

Seems universal to all Japans manufacturers. Wonder if it has to do with their infrastructure.

Even latest Nissan's Leaf kinda sucks (poor battery thermal management).

That is interesting. Are they thinking Hydrogen or something else?

Can you provide a link to their commentary? I would like to read it in full.
