The game-changer, from an infrastructure-starved American perspective: The Sakura has a 20-kwh battery—lithium-ion chemistry, and liquid-cooled. Nissan lists a 40-minute fast-charging time to 80%, but with its 3.5-kw onboard charger a full charge could be had in less than 5 hours on 240 volts. . Heck, on a bog-standard 15-amp, 120-volt American garage socket, plugging in overnight is probably enough for a full charge for the Sakura, or close to it.

A lack of data on electric vehicle (EV) batteries continues to challenge insurers who are forced to scrap EVs after mild accidents. Insurers have complained that many EVs have no way to repair or assess even slightly damaged battery packs after accidents. Batteries can make up half of an EV's cost, and a replacement battery can cost more than the used price of the vehicle after only one year.
