Hogey,

I looked a little closer regarding your previous link about Nissan scrapping their battery plant...http://www.autonews.com/article/20140917/BLOG06/140919855/scrap-nissans-leaf-battery-plant?-hardly

Perhaps the Germany Plant is not the one EFL is referring to?

Based on the quote below, could this be a licensing opportunity for EFL at the Smyrna battery factory in Tennessee?

"Regardless of who sells Nissan and Renault their future “battery technology,” finished EV battery modules will still have to be manufactured. Nissan decreed five years ago that its EV batteries must be made at the same assembly location as the vehicles they will power, for cost, logistics and quality control reasons. In this case, the electric Nissan Leaf is also assembled in Smyrna, a short stroll from the battery line."

The following link has some interesting points when the plant first opened in 2013 regarding the production capacity initially being very low but can produce up to 200,000 batteries in the future. Also noted that the the funding for this $1.7B Plant was supported by a by a loan through the Energy Dept which may make any investment from EFL initially very low. http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/13/nissan-battery-plant-begins-operations-in-tennessee/?_r=0
