Both Nissan and Tesla are actively participating in the sales frenzy of electric cars. In line with that, as the world awaits the forthcoming Model 3 to enter the market, Next-Gen Nissan Leaf is stepping up the challenge.

In the past, Nissan was on the recieving end of criticism for being slow in rendering upgrades. NSEA Voice says Nissan has already got the right platform in the EV market but their sluggish strategies and methods to render innovation is causing the Nissan Leaf's financial profits to weakened.

The current Leaf, named as the vehicle with the worst resale value around and on top of that, has maximum driving range of 107 miles is no longer good enough for today's requirements, the report added.

However, as Tesla unveiled the Model 3 on the market, speculations of a Next-Gen Nissan Leaf rises on the skylines. It has been speculated that the tech is already available for Next-Gen Nissan Leaf but the carmaker opted to pair it with the Model 3.

It is undeniable that the prestigious Nissan Leaf was able to dominate the electric car market but the rising threat that the Tesla Model 3 has given should not be cast aside. Even though Nissan's electric vehicles (EV) are remaining popular, with sales of the Nissan LEAF and e-NV200 in the fleet market climbing for a fourth consecutive year in fiscal year 2015, reports BQ, as well as indicating that Nissan should slug off.

Given the influx of sales as told by Gareth Dunsmore, director of electric vehicles for Nissan Europe, it is not an indicator that the table is already mapped. "It's great to see Nissan EV fleet demand going from strength-to-strength as businesses catch on to the many marked advantages electric vehicles have to offer," Dunsmore said.

"Both the LEAF and e-NV200 can have a significant impact on reducing running and whole-life costs as well as well as helping organizations significantly cut their carbon emissions, adds Karl Anders, national EV manager at Nissan Motor.

As for the notion that the Next-Gen Nissan Leaf is ready to beat the sales and the market out of Tesla Model 3's hand, it remains unsettled and unconfirmed, and the verdict would be exposed when both cars are finally out cruising the lanes and highways of the world.
