Nissan Begins Electric Car Battery Production at Tennessee Plant

Smyrna, Tennessee cell fabrication facility can produce enough batteries for 200,000 electric cars a year.

Those cells will go into electric cars built in its adjacent assembly plant, the first of which will be the 2013 Nissan Leaf.
