Nissan has unveiled ambitious plans to launch 27 electrified vehicles globally by 2030, with 19 of them being battery-electric models. The announcement was made during the brand’s annual dealer conference in Las Vegas. The presentation included previews of three new EVs that are expected to debut in the next seven years.
Among the upcoming models, a successor to the Nissan Leaf EV was showcased. The new Leaf is projected to offer a 25% increase in range compared to the current model, potentially reaching up to 265 miles of range on a full charge. The design was likened to a “mini-Ariya,” a reference to Nissan’s existing electric crossover. The Leaf successor’s production is set to begin in 2026 at Nissan’s factory in Sunderland, UK.
Another EV in the works is a performance sedan that might serve as a replacement for the Nissan Maxima. Details about this sedan are scarce at the moment, but Nissan plans to produce two electric sedans at its Mississippi plant in 2026, one under the Nissan brand and the other as an Infiniti.
The presentation also highlighted an electric crossover based on the CMF-EV platform, which is used for models like the Ariya. This platform will also underpin the European Renault Megane E-Tech hatchback. Additionally, Nissan’s e-Power series-hybrid technology is set to come to the US, with the redesigned Rogue crossover being the first model to benefit from it in the second half of 2026.
Nissan is not only focusing on EVs but also investing in solid-state battery technology. The company plans to move to the pilot production phase of these batteries in Yokohama, Japan, next year. These slimmer packs are claimed to offer 100 miles of driving range after a quick 15-minute top-up.
Nissan’s plans demonstrate its commitment to the electric future and its intention to bring a diverse range of electrified models to the market over the next decade.
