The Nissan Leaf, a pioneer electric vehicle and one of the cheapest EVs currently on the market, is nearing the end of its life span. According to a report in Automotive News<\/em><\/a>, Nissan does not plan on introducing a next-generation version of the Leaf and may even discontinue the nameplate altogether. <\/p>\n
Production of the current version of the Leaf is set to wind down by mid-decade, the outlet reports, citing three anonymous sources. A spokesperson for Nissan declined to speculate on the Leaf\u2019s future but did say that the company has noted a \u201crenewed\u201d interest in the Leaf amid high demand for EVs. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are seeing renewed interest in LEAF with the increased demand for EVs and its overall value proposition,\u201d Nissan spokesperson Stephen Oldham said in an email to The Verge<\/em>. \u201cSince its launch, LEAF has consistently delivered strong customer satisfaction and new buyers to Nissan.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nProduction of the current version of the Leaf is set to wind down by mid-decade<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nIf Nissan follows through on its plan to discontinue the Leaf, it would be the latest pint-sized vehicle<\/a> to fall victim to American car buyers\u2019 insatiable appetite for huge, towering, climate-killing trucks and SUVs. The Leaf is currently the only electric car Nissan sells in the US, but later this year, it will release the Ariya<\/a>, a new electric crossover SUV with up to 300 miles of range. <\/p>\n
Notably, the Ariya is more expensive than the Leaf, starting at around $47,000, as compared to the 2022 Leaf, which started at $27,400. But despite the attractive price point, the Leaf never really achieved full liftoff. First released in 2010, Nissan has only sold around 170,000 Leaf EVs in the US over the last decade. Compare that to the total number of Tesla vehicles sold in the US in just 2022 \u2014 564,743 \u2014 and you can start to see the headwinds facing Nissan. (The automaker said in 2020 that 500,000 Leafs<\/a> have been sold globally since the launch in 2010.)<\/p>\n
The automaker recently revealed its plan<\/a> to spend 2 trillion yen (around $17.6 billion USD) over the next five years to accelerate the rollout of electric vehicles. That plan will include 23 new electrified models by 2030, 15 of which will be fully electric. The company is targeting a 50 percent electrification mix for its Nissan and Infiniti brands by the end of the decade. In the US, Nissan plans to take things a little slower, only targeting 40 percent of its sales to be EVs by 2040.<\/p>\n
Based on some of the concepts highlighted by Nissan, the Leaf could be replaced by a compact SUV that the automaker is calling the Chill-Out. Nissan hasn\u2019t released any specs or details about it, but the Chill-Out seems to be the closest to production of all the company\u2019s concepts. It looks similar to the Ariya but utilizes the company\u2019s smaller CMF-EV platform, which means it will probably be slightly cheaper than the $47,000 Ariya.<\/p>\n
Whatever its future, the Leaf will certainly go down in history as the first successful mass-market EV in the US. Tesla often receives all the credit for helping kick off the race to electrification, and Elon Musk\u2019s company certainly deserves some credit for pushing the rest of the auto industry in that direction. But Nissan\u2019s role in spurring the shift to zero tailpipe emissions is undeniable. <\/p>\n
