How long have you been associated with Nissan, and what initially drew you to the brand?
I have been in the automotive industry for over 34 years and have worked with Nissan/Infiniti for over 12 years. I opened up a new state-of-the-art Infiniti dealership in Langley, where we showcased the incredible Infiniti brand. From there, I moved over to the Nissan brand in Port Coquitlam. I was intrigued by Nissan's innovative approach of launching vehicles ahead of their time and by their long history of sports cars and stylish SUVs. Nissan has been a worldwide brand for a long time, and I was happy to join their team.
What is the most popular electric vehicle (EV) from Nissan, and what features make it stand out among competitors?

How has customer interest in electric vehicles evolved recently, and how has Nissan adapted to this trend?

Which model is a best-seller Among Nissan's traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, and why do you think it appeals to customers?
