NISSAN Motor Co said Friday it will scrap its plan to produce electric vehicles in the United States as demand is slowing, partly due to the end of a tax break on EV purchases in the country. The Japanese automaker “remains fully committed to the US as a lead market and a foundation for stable returns and sustained growth”, its official said.
Nissan explained to US auto parts suppliers that it would cancel the planned output of EV vehicles at a plant in Canton, Mississippi, and instead increase production of other models there. The carmaker’s production strategy in the United States, which centred on multiple EV models, has stagnated due to delays in development. The company, which had planned to produce multiple EV models at the plant, said last year that it would give up producing a compact EV.
