    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Nissan will accelerate plans towards electrification by committing that all vehicles sold in Europe will be electric by 2030.

    Car trade body the SMMT has voiced concerns that the postponement of the ban would see consumers delay the switch to electric vehicles.

    Nissan will also introduce new battery technology by the end of the decade that it said will reduce both the charging time and cost of electric vehicles (EVs).

    In an interview with the BBC, Mr Uchida said the company was aiming to bring down the cost of electric vehicles for customers, so that they were no more expensive than petrol and diesel cars.

    Last year, it announced plans to invest £1bn in expanding the facility that sits next to its Sunderland car plant.

    Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch recently told the BBC the government was optimistic that a deferral could be secured.
