Nissan Begins U.S. Assembly of 2013 LEAF Electric Vehicle and Lithium Batteries in U.S.

  Electric Revolution is now happening on U.S. soil for real. In addition to Tesla Motors buzz with high end of the new market, Nissan Leaf is occupying the mass production niche and now will produce Lithium Batteries, Electric Motors and Nissan Leafs at Smyrna, Tenn.

"FRANKLIN, Tenn. -- This week, Nissan will ramp up U.S. assembly of the 2013 model year all-electric LEAF at its manufacturing plant in Smyrna, Tenn., where it will be manufactured alongside the company's gasoline-powered products.

The start of Nissan LEAF assembly in Smyrna comes on the heels of the opening of Nissan's battery plant in an adjacent facility. Nissan is the only automaker that manufactures its own electric vehicle batteries, at the largest lithium-ion automotive battery plant in the U.S."

  We are revisiting the Lithium opportunities among the beaten into the dust junior miners now."
