Check out the initial video in the series below. From the first lithium ion battery-powered production EV in the world—the Nissan Altra—to the recent opening of Nissan’s state of the art battery production plant in Smyrna, TN, the video takes a look at the evolution of Nissan’s battery technology.
Although it’s mostly filled with info we already knew, I like that Nissan is putting so much effort into marketing. It’s clear that to Nissan the EV isn’t just a way to tout their “green cred” to a certain target demographic. They’ve invested themselves completely into this endeavor and I’m loving every minute of it.

I’m glad to see them highlight the fact that the plant was in TN. I am so sick of reading articles about new car tech that will never even hit the U.S.
I’m also sick of ‘concept’ vehicles where the designers are wasting their time building an ultra cool car that will never hit production without a serious overhaul.
Nissan is making good steps. Now if they could just get to the price so we can stop debating it.
