Dear family members, the Japanese product brand has a new move. On February 17, Nissan Infiniti announced that it will produce a new electric vehicle at its Campus, Mississippi, U.S. plant in 2025.
Master Horn speculated that since the joint statement, the new electric car or two models, one is Nissan pure electric, the other is the Infiniti brothers model. As early as 2021, Infiniti announced its own electric vehicle plan, but so far, not a single model has been released.
At the same time, Nissan Infiniti also announced the first trailer for the new electric car, in which the concept car that is black and cannot be seen clearly adopts a coupe style similar to the Coupe coupe, and the lines are a bit like Mercedes-Benz's EQE or EQS.
Nissan said that in the future, it will increase its efforts to transform into pure electric fields, and invest heavily in transforming some traditional internal combustion engine model production lines into suitable for the production of pure electric models. Nissan is expected to invest $500 million in the Canton plant in the United States to upgrade the traditional internal combustion engine model production line, not only suitable for the manufacture of pure electric models, but also to upgrade the manufacturing process and process level. Nissan currently employs about 5,000 people at its Canton plant in the United States, mainly producing models such as the Altima, Frontier and Titan.
After the completion of the renovation of the Canton plant in the United States, it will be Nissan's second electric vehicle manufacturing plant in the United States, and the first will be the Smyrna plant in Tennessee, which mainly produces Nissan Leaf electric vehicles. After the advent of Nissan and Infiniti's new electric vehicles in 2025, leaf may still be sold in the US market without stopping production.
Another pure electric model that Nissan will launch soon is the Ariya SUV, which is also very familiar to Chinese consumers and has appeared in major auto shows before. However, Nissan has not yet announced a specific mass production plan for the Ariya pure electric SUV. Late last year, Nissan showcased three concept cars around the world and hinted that it would use solid-state batteries to reduce costs.
According to the plan, China, the United States and Japan will be the countries with the highest concentration of Nissan's main electric vehicles. At present, Nissan's sales in China continue to decline, and the performance of the new energy models that have been launched is not ideal. Coupled with the fact that the e-Power power system model has just been reborn, Chinese consumers have really too many options for new cars in the field of new energy, and with the current influence of Nissan's new energy models, the road to be taken in the future is very difficult.
In addition, Nissan hopes that its pure electric models will account for 40% of sales in the US market by 2030, and as for hybrids and plug-in hybrids, Nissan said that the more they sell, the better. Nissan plans that by 2030, Nissan and Infiniti will launch 23 new energy models (including hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure electric) worldwide, of which the number of pure electric models will reach 15.
