FILE- In this file photo made May 26, 2010, people look over the battery array of an all-electric Nissan Leaf in Smyrna, Tenn. Nissan North America, Inc. held its ground-breaking ceremony Wednesday for a lithium-ion battery plant as part of its plan to start building electric cars and eventually create up to 1,300 jobs in Tennessee. The auto industry calls it range anxiety: Drivers want electric cars but worry they won't have enough juice to make long trips. After all, what good is going green if you get stranded with a dead battery? It's a fear that automakers must overcome as they push to sell more battery-powered cars. So government and business are taking steps to reassure drivers by building up the nation's network of electric charging stations. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey, File)
