In the interview w/Ghosn, he says 2020, NOT 2012.Ghosn said Nissan would also be introducing a new electric vehicle in China after the government announced last week that it wanted to have 5 million electric vehicles on the road between now and 2012.
Choice quote from the above article:
I wonder if the other brand and apparently not building the Leaf in China is due to Chinese government requirements for joint ventures and technology transfers (that I've heard of but don't know the details of). It's mentioned at http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/21/business/global/gm-plans-to-develop-electric-cars-with-chinese-automaker.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. I've also heard of it from other places.Nissan won’t be rolling out its Leaf electric vehicle in China, instead, the Chinese version will be sold under the Venucia brand, Ghosn said, and the company would transfer its electric-vehicle know-how to the JV with Dongfeng.
