Carlos Ghosn, Supreme Allied
Commander (SAC) of both
Nissan and
Renault, took a moment from his busy
car launching schedule to promise he would be sending
electric cars to America in 2010. We've
heard this before, but now the word comes from the very top. Interestingly, Ghosn said that the new California CO
2 emission-cutting initiative had given extra impetus for the EV decision, according to this
brief article from
Agence France Presse (AFP).
While it's quite certain the EV launched stateside will be a Nissan, Europe is likely to receive a Renault-based one with the same technology but with a different "application". Whatever the final styling, we can be sure neither will look anything like the only electric car the two companies brought to Geneva: the Nissan Pivo2 concept (pictured).
