Nissan's Built An Electric Pickup That It'll Never Sell

There are probably lots of justifiable reasons why carmakers haven't got around to making an electric pickup that anyone can buy, but that doesn't mean such vehicles don't exist.

Engineers at Nissan, with a little too much time on their hands, wanted to create a neat way of ferrying people and parts around their Test Center in Stanfield, Arizona. They took a Leaf EV, cut off its roof, replaced it with the top of a Titan pickup and added a shortened rear bed from a Frontier. The end result is 'Sparky,' a stylish little electric pickup that won't ever leave Nissan's test facility.
