Sutherlin Nissan

Building an expensive electric car is relatively easy. The harder task is to create an EV that does not feel like a compromise, does not frighten buyers with its price and fits into ordinary life. That was the idea behind the Nissan Leaf from the beginning. It was never trying to be a luxury technology flagship, never playing the numbers game for its own sake, never pretending to be something impossible. Its mission was more difficult: to prove that an electric car could be mass-market, understandable and attainable.
