TOKYO — Japanese automakers Nissan Motor and Honda Motor are considering using standardized automotive software and working together on electric vehicle (EV) charging, the Nikkei newspaper said Thursday, steps that could reduce their costs.

Nissan and Honda said in March that they were considering a strategic partnership on producing EV components as they seek to gain a greater foothold in the global market for battery-powered cars, which is expected to grow over the coming years.
