NASHVILLE (AP) — The 2013 Nissan Leaf is now being produced in Tennessee.
Nissan announced in a news release last week that production of the all-electric car had begun in Smyrna, next door to the company’s lithium-ion automotive battery plant.
The new Leaf features faster charging and what will likely be an extended driving range, although that will be determined by Environmental Protection Agency testing.
