Honda, Nissan in Talks on EV Battery Cooperation

Battery supply and joint development talks between Honda and Nissan signal that Japanese automakers are prioritizing cost control and capacity security over independent EV programs. The discussions matter most for the domestic supplier base and for how quickly both firms can scale electrified lineups against larger global rivals. Whether these talks convert into a formal agreement, and how far cooperation extends beyond procurement into shared development, is the open question worth watching.
