Nissan and Honda have had trouble recognizing producing the kind of buzzy EVs that Tesla or South Korean automakers like Hyundai and Kia have produced. So a combination would make sense. It allows the two companies to pool their expertise and their production together. And the hope is that they will become stronger.
