The news follows a report earlier this week that Nissan has cut back Leaf production at Tochigi for the next few months as a result of a battery shortage.
And as we learned in July, the car company had already cut production plans for the Leaf due to restrictions on Chinese rare-earth exports. Additionally, it has postponed plans to build a pair of EVs that were scheduled to go into production in Canton, Mississippi, only months after canceling another pair of EVs meant to be built there.
"Nissan is pausing production of the MY26 Ariya for the US market and reallocating resources to support the launch of the all-new 2026 Leaf, which will have the lowest starting MSRP out of all new EVs currently on sale in the US Ariya remains available in the US through existing inventory, and Nissan will continue to support Ariya owners with service, parts, and warranty coverage," the company said a statement.
This story was updated with a statement from Nissan.
