The EU made its final decision on car carbon emissions. The initial target of 95 grams of CO2 per kilometre still stands but has been pushed back by one year to 2021. Parliament also approved the ‘super-credit scheme’, which was proposed by Germany, allowing carmakers to collect credits for producing EVs but only between 2020 and 2022. A car emitting less than 50g/km will count as two cars in 2020, 1.67 in 2021 and 1.33 cars in 2022.

Nissan (surv-)eying Tesla: The Japanese carmaker has asked Model S owners in California to participate in a survey to establish what is so likable about their competitor. Not only is Nissan asking its questions on customer satisfaction online but would also like to see a driving diary and personal interviews. Tesla will probably take this as a compliment rather than a threat.
