Nissan To Go Beyond Hybrids, To Pure Electric Cars


An article in yesterday's Wall St. Journal had some words from Nissan Motor Co. CEO Carlos Ghosn at a media roundtable in Bangkok. In his discussion of Nissan taking the lead in lithium ion battery technology for autos, which is critical for efficiency gains in range, charge time and performance, he questions why the development would only focus on hybrids rather than going all the way to full electrics with "zero emissions of anything." Couldn't have said it better myself!
