  • Teasers preview sedan-shaped electric vehicles
  • Nissan targets EV sales to make up 40 per cent of its deliveries by 2030
  • Canton, Mississippi plant to be retooled for electric vehicles

Japanese marque Nissan and its luxury sub-brand Infiniti have teased a pair of electric vehicles, set to be based on the same platform.

From the low-light photos, both cars seem to have a low-slung sedan design, breaking away from traditional mould of Nissan’s most recent EV concepts, all but one of which were high-riding SUVs.

Last month, Nissan and its Alliance partners Renault and Mitsubishi announced a majority of their future electric vehicles would be based on as little as five platforms, with Infiniti likely to offer mild redesigns and rebadging to the Nissan models.

The Japanese manufacturer is striving to launch 15 EVs by 2030, with its American arm targeting fully-electric models to make up 40 per cent of its sales by the same year – something it hopes to achieve after overhauling one of its biggest facilities.

Its plant in Canton, Mississippi is slated to benefit from a US$500 million (AU$696m) upgrade with retooling and upskilling set to take place in preparation for EV production from 2025, as the teased models are expected to be the first to roll off the line.

“Today’s announcement is the first of several new investments that will drive the EV revolution in the United States,” said Nissan CEO, Ashwani Gupta

“Nissan making a strong investment in Canton’s future, bringing the latest technology, training and process to create a truly best-in-class EV manufacturing team.”

The announcement comes less than a year after Nissan announced a $1.8 billion investment for its upcoming ‘EV36Zero’ facility in the United Kingdom, boasting an initial annual capacity of 9GWh with up to 35GWh possible by 2030.

In Australia, Nissan’s sole electric offering remains the Leaf, first introduced in 2012 but set to be joined by the Ariya, although the SUV has been repeatedly delayed due to stronger market conditions in other countries, with an official date for its debut still unconfirmed.
