On gas2.org an interesting viewpoint was published on Nissan being the only car company who “just gets it” with respect to Electric Vehicles. The reason for this being that they came up with a clear strategy for the next years at the recent 2008 LA Auto Show. Although their focus seems to be heavily US oriented, there are some interesting developments. First of all Electric Vehicles seem far from dead, as I was thinking. Secondly Nissan is opening up proprietary information to selected partners. Open Source coming to the very closed car industry. Thirdly the author of the article sends a nice message to the troubled US car makers: if you would do like Nissan your future would look better, public opinion would be more in favor of you and you would have better change at government money. Food for thought I think.
