Nissan has abandoned a $500 million plan to build all-electric vehicles at its Canton, Mississippi assembly plant, the company said in a statement to Automotive News. The automaker will instead shift production to conventional gasoline and hybrid vehicles at the 4.7-million-square-foot facility. It made the move to "better align with market conditions, customer demand and Nissan's updated strategic direction," Nissan told AN in a statement.
