He's blaming it on infrastructure. Good to see that Nissan is trying to do something about it, but they can have a more immediate impact by offering to pay for the electricity used by the existing dealer DCFC's. And they should find a way to reward those that have left their DCFC's available for everyone to use.
Maybe they should also pursue a partnership with the new folks that own Blink, to figure out how they can expand that network.
Nissan/Renault won’t meet Chief Carlos Ghosn’s ambitious goal of selling 1.5 million electric vehicles by 2016. In fact, it will not even be close.
The Japanese/French automotive alliance will miss that target by more than 1 million vehicles, as it has sold about 120,000 EVs, most of them Nissan Leafs. Ghosn now believes it will take much longer to reach the 1.5-million unit goal.
“We will not be there. At the speed right now, I’m seeing it more four or five years later,” he said in an interview with The Financial Times.
