Well, considering that Nissan already featured a small truck with the Leaf powertrain, maybe it could try something similar to that Wrightspeed setup with a microturbine instead of a reciprocating engine (with the noticeable advantage of adding multifuel capability, which would be a valuable asset for international markets with different requirements and alternate fuel policies).
Nope but they do have this 56% efficient hem in their stable
