In September, the Franco-Japanese avtoal'yans Renault-Nissan noted the level of total sales at around 350 000 cars, of which 250,000 are Nissan Leaf. After 6 years since the release of the Nissan Leaf in the company talking about the next electric model.
In particular, Director of the electric transport Gareth Dinsmor in comments to the British magazine Auto Express have noticed that there is one category of people interested in the purchase of electric cars is a family who want the accessibility and usability: "Leaf provides good opportunities for these consumers, it will continue. For us it is logical to look towards crossovers or [electric vehicles] B-class for the next car". Dunsmoor added that the company, which has invested $ 5.4 billion in electric-type Leaf must be sure that satisfies as many categories of consumers.
These data are indirectly supported and Roel de Vries, corporate Vice President, Nissan: "We are considering areas where we can add more electric cars. The next step will be in one large sector, and it is certainly not sports cars," said de Vries in comments to reporters.
Renault ZOE, the most popular electric car B-class in Europe, is a five-door left. Auto Express suggests that the subcompact electric car Nissan may become a "sister car" ZOE and even is created battery technology and platform. New from Nissan can be made on the same production equipment and ZOE in France, the newspaper writes.
However, the subcompact electric car is unlikely to be sold in the big American market — at least at the first stage. According to the commentators of Green Car Reports, the US market will respond better to a electrical crossovers. published
