Autoblog spoke to a Nissan engineer who said the company does plan to release a Leaf with 200+ mile range, but it's unclear whether this new model will be the one. As it is, Nissan is proudly noting that despite the hype around competitors like Tesla and Chevy's Bolt, it is the maker of the world's best-selling electric vehicle. By focusing on keeping prices down, it could keep that position going forward.
