Infiniti, Nissan and others have major plans for electric vehicles in the U.S. Infiniti as well as Nissan will introduce new electric models. They will be manufactured in Canton, Miss. Nissan factory. Nissan will invest $500 Million in the factory to improve and train workers for EV production.
Teaser for Infiniti EV
In a separate video, both brands teased new models. Nissan showed only a 1/4 shot of the front, but was less forthcoming. It clearly takes inspiration from the Nissan Ariya’s smooth nose and headlight design. Infiniti’s teaser photo didn’t reveal much but a video teaser showed that the car would be a sedan. Given the popularity of SUVs, this is quite a surprise decision. It is a replica of an Infiniti, with waterfall lighting slats at the front.
These models won’t be available until 2025. They may not be available until 2025. They may not be available until 2023, 2024 or even 2024. These models are part of Nissan’s plan for 23 electrified Nissan models to be introduced by 2030. 15 models will be fully-electric.
