Welcome to Monday, InsideEVs readers. I hope you had a great weekend. I was at the opening round of the US Open on Sunday and had the best time at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

We’re starting the week with big news out of Japan. After their failed merger talks, Nissan and Honda are finally joining forces to co-develop software defined vehicles that will come out starting in 2029. Both companies are lagging behind competitors when it comes to software but will now work together to standardize some core vehicle systems.

Here are our other top stories today:

  • The Nissan Rogue e:Power arrives this November to rival the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V Hybrid.

  • The Volkswagen ID.4 successor looks a lot more like a Tiguan.

  • A list of all the new extended range electric vehicles coming to America soon.
