Nissan is redirecting its European electric vehicle (EV) lineup toward more affordable models, abandoning a long-anticipated plan to electrify one of its most recognizable SUVs. The company will not build a fully battery-powered Qashqai at its plant in Sunderland, England, according to a Reuters report citing plant insiders. This pivot falls under Nissan’s Re:Nissan recovery strategy, which has prioritized cutting costs across its global operations.
At the same time, chasing thin-margin segments could erode financial performance and deter investment. Sunderland’s future as a manufacturing center for electric vehicles will depend on how well Nissan toes the line between the two extremes. American EV makers like Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN) are also probably navigating similar challenges as the industry adjusts to shifting demand.
