WASHINGTON:
Japanese automaker Nissan is dismissing speculation that it intends to scale back electric car battery production at its US plant in Tennessee. Nissan’s ambitious electric vehicle programme has been a signature initiative of Carlos Ghosn, the chief executive at both Renault and Nissan. “The Renault-Nissan alliance remains 100% committed to its industry-leading EV program,” said spokesman Travis Parman in a statement. “This global commitment continues for the foreseeable future, and we have not taken any decision whatsoever to modify battery sourcing allocation.” Parman said Nissan has no plans to “impair” its battery investments in the US or Britain. His comments came after media reports suggested that the Renault-Nissan alliance was re-evaluating its battery strategy.
