Wheels.ca - Electric cars next big thing, says Ghosn - Canada's Most Trusted Auto Resource

Wheels.ca - Electric cars next big thing, says Ghosn - Canada's Most Trusted Auto Resource: "Nissan is planning to launch an electric car in the United States by 2010, making it the latest automaker to set such timeline. General Motors Corp. said it will launch its Chevrolet Volt gas-electric vehicle the same year, and Chrysler LLC plans to begin selling an electric vehicle by then, as well.

Nissan, Japan's No. 3 automaker, plans to mass-market electric vehicles globally by 2012, Ghosn said. He said there is little doubt automakers see electric vehicles as the future of the auto industry.

'Ten per cent of global sales of cars will be electric by 2020 is, in my opinion, a reasonable number,' Ghosn said."
