Nissan Leaf EV reportedly to be discontinued
Electric vehicles are widely seen as the future of the auto industry , but early models like the Leaf failed to catch on.
"Leaf was an attempt at bringing electrification to the masses, but with quirky styling and range limits ... it never really had a chance at becoming what it set out to be," Edmunds analyst Ivan Drury tells Axios in an email.But it soon ceded the throne to Tesla, and never came close to achieving the visionunits of the Leaf in the U.S. in 2021, a sliver of the 977,639 vehicles it sold that year.
The range improved over time, but Nissan has since shifted much of its attention to future EVs, like the sleek Ariya crossover. When gas prices tumbled in the late 2010s, the Leaf also fell prey to shifting consumer demand for SUVs and pickups."There's going to be a lot of new product that comes to market that will be far better with better battery technology," Autotrader analyst Michelle Krebs tells Axios.
