LIVESTREAM: THE NEW NISMO LEAF AND SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHERE WE GET OUR MONEY

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses significant disappointment with Nissan's decision to produce only six units of the Nismo Leaf RC, a high-performance, all-wheel-drive variant based on the second-generation Leaf. While acknowledging its impressive 3.4-second 0-100 km/h acceleration and dual 120 kW motors, the limited production renders it a mere showcase vehicle, a missed opportunity for a racing series. The reviewer contrasts this with the standard Leaf, noting the lack of a Nismo version available for purchase, and criticizes Nissan for not unveiling the anticipated Leaf Plus (with a larger battery and improved charging) at the LA Auto Show, attributing the delay to internal issues. The overall sentiment towards Nissan's recent actions is one of disappointment and a feeling that the company has 'dropped the ball'.
