Nissan has revealed its long-rumored budget electric vehicle, the Wave, in what appears to be the first confirmed sighting of the production model. Priced at around $23,000, the compact EV would slot into one of the most competitive segments in the current market, directly challenging offerings from BYD, the upcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV, and other affordable electric options. The vehicle is expected to feature a modest range and a simple, no-frills design philosophy aimed squarely at cost-conscious buyers who have been priced out of the EV market. Its arrival would mark a significant push by Nissan to stay relevant in the electric transition, particularly in markets where lower price points drive the majority of EV sales.
