Nissan and Mitsubishi have partnered to build and sell a small, affordable electric vehicle by 2016-2017, according to the Japanese newspaper Nikkei. It would be priced at around 1.78 million yens, or $16,000. Both Nissan (LEAF) and Mitsubishi (i-MiEV) already have one electric car in their portfolios. They've also formed an alliance to develop the Dayz and Dayz Roox microcars in Japan, among other projects. Nissan told AFP that further details will be announced at a later date, but insisted that the company is moving as fast as it can to bring this new electric vehicle to market.

Agence France-Presse TOKYO The Japanese automakers Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors to jointly develop an electric mini-car at low cost by 2016-2017, said Monday the Nikkei business daily. Nissan, which has invested $ 4 billion in this area in partnership with Renault, its largest shareholder, the City sells far Leaf for a mixed commercial result - 124,000 copies sold worldwide since its launch in 2010. The group ensures that the Leaf is still "the best-selling electric car," while conceding that a problem of infrastructure slows the adoption of such cars, which offer a range of 190 km when the battery is charged maximum. The price is also a factor that could hinder buyers, hence this project to develop an affordable vehicle. Mitsubishi Motors has experience in this field, since it launched in 2009, the least expensive of the Japanese market electric car: a small model called i-MiEV priced at 1.78 million yen (about 18,100 $), if one takes into account the government's help for "clean vehicles". The group has delivered 10,000 units in Japan and 22,000 overseas, according to figures provided to the AFP. According to the Nikkei, the car in preparation could be sold for even less, around 1.5 million yen (about $ 16,000). Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors are already working together in several areas. They launched through a joint venture called NMKV two mini-vehicles (Dayz and Dayz Roox), these cars of less than 660 cc very popular in Japan. Renault, they announced the end of 2013 an extension of their cooperation for a joint production of vehicles and sharing of technologies, particularly in the field of electric motors. Contacted by AFP, the two Japanese groups confirmed "consider the development of an electric model" based on Dayz range. "But nothing has been decided at this stage," said a spokesman for Mitsubishi Motors. "While our goal is to launch this model as soon as possible, the details of its development and launch schedule will be announced later," he assured his side Nissan. [© auto.lapresse.ca] ...
