[Texas]

“This will be the center of our lithium battery production for all of our assembly plants and for other carmakers,” Ghosn said. “It’s a major investment.”

"...Discussions are under way with AESC, a battery joint venture between Nissan and NEC Corp., over licences provisionally valued at 100 million euros to produce its batteries at Flins, he said. Ghosn also heads the Yokohama, Japan-based carmaker, which is 44 percent-owned by Renault. "
