Technology Review: Nissan's Leaf: Charged with Information: "'Most people think that the charging infrastructure is the Achilles' heel of an electric vehicle project. But it's really not,' says Mark Perry, Nissan's director of product planning and advanced technology strategy. 'We are doing this to address peace of mind. We think people will recharge at home 80 percent of the time. But this lets people feel comfortable with the what-ifs,' he added.
Perry sees the dashboard information offered by the Leaf going even further in the future. 'Eventually what will be available is not only charging station locations, but if they are occupied and unoccupied, and even a reservation process,' says Perry."
