Nissan electric car for China starts production
    2018-08-28  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

NISSAN’S first electric sedan designed for China began production yesterday at the start of a wave of dozens of planned lower-cost electrics being created by global automakers for their biggest market.

Manufacturers including General Motors and Volkswagen are poised this year to launch a flood of electric sedans, minivans and SUVs in China designed for local tastes and smaller budgets.

Nissan, Tesla, GM and others sell imported electrics or electrified versions of models made by Chinese partners, but the market is dominated by low-cost local rivals including BYD Auto.

The Sylphy Zero Emission, based on Nissan’s leaf, is being produced by Nissan Motor and a Chinese partner, Dongfeng Motor.

The Sylphy costs 166,000 yuan (US$25,850) after government subsidies, or just over half the sticker price of the Chinese version of the Leaf sold by Nissan and Dongfeng’s joint venture Venucia brand. Nissan says the Sylphy can go 338 kilometers on a charge.

“We’re confident that the Sylphy Zero Emission rolling off the production line today will become a main player in the EV market,” said Nissan CEO Hiroto Saikawa. “We’re going to roll out a range of EVs that will appeal to customers within all market segments.”

Sales quotas that take effect next year require every brand to sell electrics or buy credits from competitors that do.

China accounted for half of global electric car sales last year, but almost all of those came from Chinese brands including BYD and BAIC Group. Their prices start as low as 140,000 yuan. (SD-Agencies)
