Nissan now fully owns its Formula E team
At the end of March FIA unveiled the names of the first seven teams that will race in Formula E next season, and among them was Nissan. Today it has been revealed that the Japanese car maker has acquired full ownership of its Formula E team, purchasing the stake of its former partner in the venture, e.dams.
Prior to the purchase of the e.dams stake, Nissan had a minority share in the team, which began life at Renault, Nissan's sister brand from the Renault-Nissan alliance.
Nissan described going all-in on the Formula E team as a "natural step" in its Ambition 2030 plan that aims to launch 23 electric models, including 15 new EVs, and achieve 100% electrification by 2030.
Discussions to purchase the team have been ongoing "for some time", according to The Race. The new ownership won't immediately affect the structure of the team.

You're telling me they've been making electric cars for 12 years and still aren't fully electric.
