Nissan hasn’t even launched the LEAF yet, but the company is already thinking ahead.

The car manufacturer showed a new two-seater electric vehicle concept resembling a golf-cart on Monday, the AP reported.

The Nissan New Mobility CONCEPT has a range of about 100 kilometers (62 miles), and maximum speed of 75 kilometers (47 miles) per hour.

The car isn’t for sale yet, and the company is still working out avenues that are in need of smaller sized EVs (they could be used for internal travel at plants, amusement parks, factories).

The concept, however, does show the Japanese automaker’s push to be a zero-emission car leader.

Apparently, Nissan is planning to produce 250,000 electric vehicles a year, starting with the LEAF, while its alliance partner Renault SA of France is planning to produce another 250,000, AP reported.

Last week Nissan chief executive officer Carlos Ghosn said that automakers need to sell a million EVs annually to make a reasonably priced, battery-powered vehicle that doesn’t rely on hefty government subsidies to influence buyers.

Nissan is also setting up over 80 other partnerships with governments and companies around the world to build charging stations for electric vehicles.

A company to recycle used EV batteries has also been created.

“That shows how interest in zero-emissions is growing,” said Corporate Vice President Hideaki Watanabe.

“We don’t want EVs to be a niche product,” he said.

That said, developing a golf cart EV with a short range and low maximum speed is necessarily going to be niche.

And it’s a car we’ve already proven can be useful given the right industry.

What we need to see is more initiatives on cars that will be cheaper and have a longer range — so more people are willing to make the switch from their gasoline powered cars to EVs.

The only way EVs are truly going to be mainstream cars is if we make them just as convenient — and that’s what Nissan needs to work on next.
