The addition of Plug and Charge appears to fit in with the narrative that Nissan aims to address charging headaches with the new Leaf.

The two Japanese automakers said the deal had been terminated to prioritize “management measures in an increasingly volatile market environment heading into the era of electrification.”

The merger deal that was set to create the third-largest global automaker is now in jeopardy, with dealings between the two companies complicated by their “growing differences” according to Reuters.

Motor Authority reports that a Nissan executive told it that if the company is making an all-electric GT-R, it won’t compromise on performance, pointing to the McClaren Formula E team’s recent first victory in São Paulo, Brazil with a Nissan-designed electric racer.

Making performance versions of EVs is tricky, because the electric assist is already pretty darn snappy and the vehicle body has likely been aero-optimized from the beginning. What’s left? Well, according to Nissan, plenty. The latest version of the company’s Ariya compact SUV features handling and performance “all brought about by NISMO’s exclusive tuning.” Basically hand it over to your racing division and see what they come up with.
