flag Nissan cuts LEAF production over half due to battery supply delays, but launch remains on track.

flag Nissan has cut production of its new LEAF electric vehicle by more than half for the September–November period due to delays in battery procurement, primarily from lower yields at a Nissan-affiliated supplier. flag The Tochigi plant in Japan, which produces the LEAF for the U.S. and Japanese markets, is affected, with several thousand fewer vehicles built monthly. flag Despite the reduction, Nissan maintains the vehicle is on track for its planned end-of-year launch. flag The issue highlights ongoing supply chain challenges in the global EV industry, particularly around battery supply, which continues to hinder automakers' ability to meet rising demand.
