Nissan LEAF output to rise to meet demands
Demand for the all-electric Nissan LEAF is high and Nissan’s new VP of sales in North America says that production outputs will be raised to match.
Nissan plans to lift production levels for the battery-electric LEAF, the world’s best-selling fully electric car, at its Smyrna, Tennessee plant in order to meet rising demand for the vehicle. When it was first introduced, the LEAF was dogged by production lags and delays as demand far outstripped production levels, beating even the best estimates the company had for the car’s sales. Many customers got in line and waited to take delivery of their cars, buying them sight unseen in pre-order and often waiting months for their LEAF deliveries.
Demand has continued to pace itself uphill, rising continually, and Nissan has taken many steps to keep up with that. The latest is to lift production quotas at its Smyrna, Tennessee plant, where the current LEAF for the North American market is being built. Battery capacities at the plant are already above production levels, say Nissan insiders, so improving production was merely a matter of changing quotas for the production line.
