Nissan plans more U.S. EV production to meet tax credit rules
in the U.S. starting in 2026 and noted that several models would be built at its factory in Canton, Mississippi.in other states. The company’s COO, Ashwani Gupta, said that its domestic footprint would play a role in opening eligibility for its vehicles here. The plan involves a potential overhaul of Nissan’s Dechard, Tenn., facility to build EV components.
Driven by the new rules, Nissan said it believes its U.S. sales will grow to more than 40% by 2030. That’s an increase over its previous estimates and will mean a significant increase in its current EV sales volume. Out of almost 730,000 vehicles sold last year, Nissan moved just 12,025 EVs. Gupta also hinted at Nissan’s future EV plans, saying it would simplify powertrains and work to streamline platform designs. Nissan’s current EV catalog involves 16 variants for three major sales regions, but going forward, the company wants one platform for those regions with a few variations on battery and suspension designs.
