According to and article found in the OZ Car Guide, Nissan will stick to its original target of $200,000 batteries and 150,000 Electric cars.

Katherine Zachary, spokeswoman for Nissan North American Inc., says that due to the company’s improved efficiencies in the original construction plan of the U.S electric vehicle assembly line and battery plant, the investment amount has been reduced by $200 million.
A few months back, Nissan applied for low interest loans under the Department of Energy's Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Incentive Program. Nissan would have to use the loan to build something in the U.S. in order to qualify it. So Nissan planned to build electric vehicles at its Smyrna, Tennessee assembly plant and applied for a $1.6 billion loan for an estimated $2 billion project. The amount finally approved by DOE was $1.44billion.
So now that we are going to breath a little better, where will these 150,000 cars get charged? My money is on Car Charging Group Inc. CCGI - a publicly traded company that seems to be making all the right moves.

According to their web site, CCGI is already on the move to make sure that EV in the United States will have a place to go to where ever local to charge up.
