I'm not sure I get that message. IMHO, they just happened to be standing in front of the ESFLOW, so he used it in his response.
Autoblog Green seems to disagree. Their opinion is that Nissan is leaning toward the Townpod.

Exactly right.TRONZ said:The ESFlow, on the other hand, leverages current Nissan technology and pack size to effectively achieve its objective. It is actually a more realistic concept and far more ready for production.

Nissan said it will expand its lineup of Nismo models, parts and accessories and move to a new global headquarters in Yokohama, Japan in 2013.
TRONZ said:It's also worth noting that big Nissan news for Tokyo has been a renewed emphasis on Nismo.
“It will be a city car,” declares Andy Palmer, who as Nissan Motor Co. executive vice president for vehicle planning and program management holds considerable sway over the decision. “It will be in the A/B segment. The car would have to be low-cost. It would be a vehicle where you could potentially accept less range, so you could have a smaller battery. And that would bring the price down.”
If that comment isn’t grey area enough, concidering it applies to all three options, Nissan North America has hinted that the fourth EV may not only be for U.S. markets, but may be for the global market. While a crossover would probably be most sucessful in the U.S., a city car would do better in more regions worldwide.

Hmmm. Personally I won't buy a car with lesser range than Leaf. That would force us to use the ICE even within Seattle area.
