Nissan, Honda consider partnering on software, EV charging infrastructure, report says

TOKYO -- Nissan and Honda are considering using standardized automotive software and working together on electric-vehicle charging, the Nikkei newspaper said, steps that could reduce their costs.

Two of Japan's three biggest automakers are looking to jointly develop the operating system that controls cars in a bid to bring down costs, according to Nikkei, which did not say where it got the information. They are open to working together in any region, both in Japan and overseas, Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida said in March.
