New electric Nissan Juke, two other EVs, scheduled for across the pond

The funky Nissan Juke, which found a mostly friendly audience in the United States until it was discontinued six years ago, will be reborn as an electric vehicle for the European market by the end of this decade.

According to Nissan, the electric Juke, along with the Qashqai crossover and a replacement for the current Leaf, will be inspired by three recent concept cars and will be built at Nissan's new $2.2 billion factory in Sunderland, England.

No details for the reworked EVs were available. In September the Japanese manufacturer announced plans for an all-EV lineup for Europe by 2030. Nissan confirmed last week that it will build the Leaf, now made in the U.S., in the U.K.
