Yeah because they know that what the Tories announce at this point is essentially just irrelevant and shouldn't be taken the seriously.
They have a whole world market to serve, I don’t think they give a fuck about UK politics
However Nissan do have R&D and manufacturing facilities in the UK, so the law would affect them directly ... also, outside the EU has anyone else proposed a set date to end ICE car sales?
Yes. There's a map and list here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_fossil_fuel_vehicles

It's good to see that there's a few other countries going for it too, I guess there's large parts of the world where it's going to be near impossible though due to distances and lack of electricity (until solar cars are cheap and plentiful, but we might have all perished by then, lol)
I want the Tories out NOW but I think we still have another year or 2 with them :/
