Nissan is preparing for a full-scale mass-market EV push, with electric versions of the Juke, Qashqai and X-Trail being primed for sale from 2025.
The move would build on the popularity of the firm's e-Power hybrid powertrain, Nissan Europe boss Guillaume Cartier has said, and aid its push to ensure that EVs comprise more than half of its total global sales by 2030.
The hybrid system helped the Sunderland-built Qashqai grow its European sales to 105,956 last year, according to figures from Jato Dynamics.
"The point is we go in a transitional manner, in a smart manner, with e-Power then to BEV," said Cartier. "We're just launching e-Power [now].
"We need to take the benefit of it on the Qashqai. We've evolved, so this is something that it's natural to look at, which would be the future."
