"We haven't announced who will be our battery supplier for Canton-made EVs arriving in 2025. That will be coming in a few weeks."
F1 cars are the fastest open-wheel race cars in the world, and therefore demand racetracks that are up for the job. Here are some of the best. http://popm.ch/9QH7L7R
"Nissan's dealer network will be one of the largest, if not the largest, charging networks in the country."
"We will be prototyping solid-state battery technology in two years. That's a technology behind which Nissan is putting its name and know-how."
Who can type out the iconic Audi heartbeat sound? Asking for a friend.

Ariya launch delays are to make sure the product meets customer expectations when it hits the market. "Everything we are doing, we are doing for the customer."
EVs are expected to drive the shift to digital retailing because younger EV buyers are more likely to shop online. - Papin

Lotus Eletre SUV walkaround! #Lotus
Papin speaking with AutoNews Executive Editor Jamie Butters. @MittenHawk
The Ariya EV "is segment-defining. very personal and engaging."
Papin said he is confident in the growth of consumer demand for EV. Nissan expects EVs to account for 40 percent of US sales in the next few years. "To back those numbers we need more investments" in Canton, Smyrna and Decherd and possibly a new plant seven years from now.
