TOKYO—Nissan Motor Co. said Monday it has started producing its first made-for-China electric car, leading a wave of electric vehicles planned by Japanese makers looking to boost sales in the country. China, the world’s biggest car market by sales, is becoming a critical part of Japanese companies’ growth plans for both gasoline-powered and electric vehicles, while uncertainty clouds their U.S. business because of possible tariffs by the Trump administration on imported cars and car parts.
