Nissan and Infiniti tease American-built EV models



Nissan and Infiniti have revealed some significant electric car plans for the U.S. Both brands will introduce new electric models, and they'll both be built at Nissan's factory in Canton, Miss. The factory currently builds the Altima, Frontier and Titan models, but Nissan will be investing $500 million to upgrade the factory and train employees for EV production.

The two brands also teased their new models. Nissan was more coy, showing just an obscured front 3/4 shot. It clearly takes inspiration from the Nissan Ariya, though, based on the smooth nose and the headlight design. Infiniti didn't show much in its teaser image, but a video teaser showed that it will in fact be a sedan. It's a surprising decision considering the unceasing popularity of SUVs. The car looks as curvy as any Infiniti, and it has waterfall lighting slats across the front.
