CANTON, Miss. — Nissan Motor Co. will begin U.S. production of two new electric vehicles starting in 2025 as the EV pioneer seeks to reclaim relevancy in the now-burgeoning segment.
As part of the expansion, Nissan said Thursday that it will invest $500 million to transform its Canton, Miss., assembly plant into a "center for EV manufacturing and technology." The investment will include the addition of battery pack assembly operations in Canton, Nissan executives said Thursday.
The sprawling 4.7 million-square-foot factory brought automotive production to Mississippi when it opened nearly two decades ago.
