With consumer interest for all-electric vehicles growing and with tougher emissions regulations expected to come into play, Nissan has announced that it will be ramping up its EV production over the next few years. Dubbed â€œM.O.V.E. to 2022â€, the automaker plans to launch as many as eight new fully electric cars within the next four years, building on the success of its best-selling Leaf. Nissan also has plans to introduce additional EVs in China by participating in various joint ventures.
Â

According to industry buzz, these vehicles will include a new C-segment EV this year, which will be derived from the Leaf, as well as an affordable new A-segment EV, similar to the Fiat 500. Nissanâ€™s Infiniti brand is also expected to electrify its entire lineup by 2021.

The ultimate goal of Nissanâ€™s â€œM.O.V.E. to 2022â€ is to sell one million electrified vehicles annually by 2022. If you do the math, thatâ€™s six times more than the number of EVs the automaker sold last year. It's an aspiring objective, but one the company welcomes.Â

According to Philippe Klein, Nissanâ€™s Chief Planning Officer, â€œOur product and technology strategy is dedicated to positioning Nissan to lead the automotive, technology and business evolution. Our efforts are focused on delivering Nissan Intelligent Mobility, encompassing the three core elements of electrification, autonomous drive, connectivity and new mobility services.â€
