Nissan, Green Loans, and Alfa Romeo

Last week we looked at Renault's new battery deal. Nissan is also enjoying the freedom of their rebalanced alliance and pushing into software and EV development independent of Renault. 

Nissan, Japan's third-biggest automaker, is looking for a partner outside the auto industry to get their cars smarter and more connected. 

This plan could lead to the complete end of their alliance with Renault. 

As EV popularity and availability increase, more lenders are offering Green Loans to consumers who shop around. Basically, the loan is a standard auto loan but with a lower rate to incentivize environmentally-friendly vehicles. 

Depending on the lender's offerings, customers could save somewhere between .25% and 1.0%.

Another key incentive in green loans is an option to extend the term beyond the standard 24-84 months. 


Alfa Romeo plans to be fully electric by 2027, but any journey, even one filled with lightning, starts with a single step.

The brand will release its first electric vehicles in 2024. The Brennero is a crossover easily compared to the Jeep Avenger. Unconfirmed performance and range specifics are also based on the Avenger.
