Nissan To Launch Plug-In Hybrids by 2016 and all major carmakers are focused on plug in hybrids from 2015 to 2020
Nissan plans to start of plug-in hybrid production remains slated for late 2015, presumably coming to market in one or more model-year 2016 vehicles.
Andy Palmer, Nissan’s head of global product development, declined to comment on specific models or vehicle types, he noted that Nissan sees a “natural dividing line” between battery-electric and plug-in hybrid powertrains, based on vehicle weight.
Batteries are suitable to power vehicles weighing 1,750 kg (3,850 lbs) or less, he said. Above that weight, plug-in hybrids simply make more sense on a cost and capability basis.
Nissan’s electric vehicles are likely to remain in the compact to mid-size passenger car segment, or smaller–along with more specialized vehicles like the Nissan e-NV200 electric delivery van that just entered production in Spain.
Plug-in hybrids, on the other hand, could be used in mid-size or larger crossover utility vehicles, larger sedans, and luxury vehicles from Infiniti.
