Nissan to launch electric car for Japan in 2022

The planned electric mini-vehicle is aimed to redefine the popular car category in Japan.

Nissan announced it plans to start sales of an all-new, all-electric mini-vehicle in Japan in early 2022. The vehicle is part of a joint project with Mitsubishi and is being planned and developed by a Nissan-Mitsubishi joint venture. The planned electric mini-vehicle is aimed to redefine the popular car category in Japan, featuring instant acceleration, smooth driving, and a quiet cabin. It will also come available with a variety of advanced technologies, including driver assistance technologies. With a battery capacity of 20kWh, Nissan says the new electric car has enough range to cover daily needs. In addition, the vehicle can provide electricity from its battery to a home and, in emergencies, can act as a mobile power source as well. At 3,395mm long, 1,475mm wide, and 1,655mm high, the Nissan electric mini-vehicle is designed to provide effortless driving and handling in Japan’s cramped traffic environments. The electric car is said to be available at 2 million yen (approx. Rs 13.28 lakh).
