Nissan may stop making its own electric car batteries
Nissan has long made its own electric car batteries thanks to Automotive Energy Supply, its team-up with NEC, but it appears to be having second thoughts. Sources speaking to both Nikkei and Reuters understand that Nissan plans to sell its controlling stake in AES, with NEC likely following suit. It'd just be less expensive to buy batteries from an outside supplier, according to tipsters. While it's not certain who would snap up the business, the car maker is supposedly in talks with both Panasonic and "overseas companies" that include Chinese firms.
