Episode 14: From Mitsubishi to Nissan: Foxconn’s Quiet Takeover of Japan’s EV Landscape

In this episode of Taiwan Tech Dispatch, we revisit a story first explored in Episode 3 — Foxconn’s EV partnership with Mitsubishi — and connect it to a new, potentially game-changing development: a rumored Foxconn–Nissan collaboration. From the underutilized Oppama Plant in Kanagawa, to Foxconn’s MIH platform, to Japan’s EV infrastructure push, we examine how this partnership could reshape Japan’s electric vehicle ambitions and strengthen Foxconn’s foothold in Asia’s auto industry. We also explore the broader EV trends in China, the US, and Southeast Asia — and what these moves mean for Taiwan’s evolving role in the global tech ecosystem. 📩 Subscribe to Taiwan Tech Dispatch on Spotify or YouTube 🌐 Visit my blog: whitehsu.blog 💼 Connect with me on LinkedIn:LinkedIn 👉 Follow us on Facebook: Facebook Page -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
