Investing.com -- Nissan Motor has reduced its production plan for the new model of its Leaf electric vehicle by more than half for the September-November period due to delays in battery procurement, according to the Nikkei business daily on Tuesday.

The Japanese automaker’s decision stems from lower-than-expected battery yields at a Nissan affiliate, the Nikkei reported. Despite these production challenges, Nissan still plans to release the new EV model by the end of the year.

While specific original or revised production targets were not disclosed, the output plan has reportedly been cut by up to several thousand vehicles per month at Nissan’s Tochigi plant in eastern Japan.

This facility manufactures the new version of the Leaf for both the U.S. and Japanese markets.
