Nissan

Nissan is set to unleash several new electric vehicles over the next few years. After we finally got our first look at the new LEAF, Nissan previewed a boxy-looking electric SUV that will be built in the US. What will it look like when it arrives? We might have a clue.

Big changes are hitting the US car market this week – but uncertainty bring opportunity, and few companies have less to lose and more to gain from 2025’s automotive turmoil than Nissan. With a new, enthusiastic CEO, interest from Foxconn and Honda, and a number of American manufacturing sites already in operation, Nissan has a chance – but the new LEAF is a snoozer, and they’ll have to do better if they want to survive.

The Nissan LEAF is now a crossover with some pretty major upgrades. Nissan unveiled the third-gen EV, dropping the iconic hatch design for a stylish crossover. It now has significantly more range, and it even has an NACS port for charging at Tesla Superchargers. Here’s our first look at the new Nissan LEAF EV.

Nissan became the first Japanese automaker to sign a supply deal with South Korea’s SK On. Under the new agreement, SK On will supply Nissan with nearly 100 GWh of US-made EV batteries, or enough for around 1 million midsize models.

After an oil change, a woman found a racial slur printed on the sticker inside her SUV. Now, she’s getting a free electric vehicle. Family Nissan, a dealership nearly 900 miles away, is gifting her a free LEAF EV, saying she won’t need an oil change ever again. The electric car was specifically chosen so the shocking incident doesn’t happen again.

Japan reportedly plans to try to convince Tesla to invest in Nissan after the merger with Honda fell through.

Do you think it makes sense?

On today’s downright giddy episode of Quick Charge, at least one Cybertruck owner is sick of people making fun of his ride – but Tesla won’t let him trade it in. Plus, the Associated Press reports that Tesla is suing its own customers, and Nissan is adding AI to its EVs to its record time.

The new Nissan LEAF already looks like a major upgrade. The little electric hatchback is due for a refresh, and we are finally getting a better idea of what to expect after the new model was spotted again in the US and Europe. New images reveal more of its crossover-like design.

Nissan is the latest to adopt DeepSeek tech for its new EV in China, the N7. The N7 will be the first joint venture brand electric car to feature DeepSeek’s R1 as the Japanese automaker fights to turn things around in the world’s largest EV market.

After ending its planned EV merger with Honda, Nissan is now on the hunt for a new partner to help it recover. To survive the industry’s shift to electric, software-defined vehicles, Nissan could turn to Apple supplier Foxconn.

The landmark EV merger, which would create the world’s third-largest automaker, may not happen after all. Honda and Nissan’s EV partnership plans are reportedly already being called off. The partnership was expected to help the Japanese automakers survive after falling behind BYD, Tesla, and others as the industry shifts to electric.

Nissan plans to buy 20 GWh of batteries from SK On, enough to power around 300,000 EVs to be sold in the US. However, after delaying EV production in the US again, when will the new EVs finally arrive?

Nissan confirmed it is again delaying EV production at its Canton, Mississippi plant. According to sources, it is also dropping plans to build an electric SUV similar in size to the Rogue Sport in the US.

Nissan will begin building updated LEAF models at its Sunderland, UK plant later this year. Ahead of its arrival, Nissan scored a new supply deal with JATCO for EV powertrains that will be built at a nearby facility. The parts will be used for the new LEAF and other upcoming Nissan EVs.

The iconic electric car is due for a revival. Nissan’s next-gen LEAF was officially spotted testing in the US, giving us our best look at the upcoming EV so far.

Despite how cold it may feel outside, Nissan’s electric SUV has likely been through colder. Nissan is proving its Ariya SUV can handle the extreme weather at its unique new test chamber at its tech center near Detroit. With temperatures ranging from -40 to 176 °F, the Ariya is being pushed to see what it’s made of.

Nissan is already sweetening the deal on its newest Ariya EV with its latest promotion. The 2025 Nissan Ariya starts at under $40,000, but with incentives, how does it compare to other electric SUVs? Here’s a breakdown.

Honda and Nissan will team up to build EVs as they look to keep pace with Tesla and BYD. The Honda and Nissan EV merger will create one of the world’s largest auto groups as they look to pull a third Japanese automaker into the partnership. Here’s everything you need to know.

The 2025 Nissan Ariya is now available with prices starting under $40,000. Nissan’s electric SUV offers up to nearly 300 miles range and can now charge up at Tesla Superchargers to make road trips effortless.

On today’s episode of Quick Charge, the Trump administration has lost its first battle against state’s rights in California while Tesla faces down (what it’s calling) a union coup in Germany. Meanwhile, SoCal Edison puts 280 Chevy Silverado EV pickups to work on California’s roads and Colorado is putting up a bunch of new DC fast chargers.

Japanese automakers are taking drastic measures to keep pace with Tesla and Chinese EV leaders like BYD. Honda and Nissan are now closing in on an EV merger to join resources and fend off the incoming competition. The tie-up will likely involve a third auto partner from Japan.
