The Trucks and SUV's are the most competent part of the Nissan lineup IMHO, it makes sense that they are selling better than the somewhat dated and uninspired passenger cars Nissan sells.

Totally expected, now Nissan could really rock the world if they came out with a fun to drive EV line of cars to go with their trucks / suvs.

They need to catch up to GM, Toyota , Tesla, and Ford with battery technology.

Naw, just use the same batteries Samsung did for the note 7, I am sure there are plenty of extras laying around!
