Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn:
I don’t know what you’re thinking.
I’m not changing from a car that’s
tied to a gas pump to a car that’s
tied to a charging station.
I’ll only change if I can get off the grid.
I’ve heard about the “swap your battery” stations
and they are a crock.
If I can’t plug it in to a common socket
at home or anywhere else, I’m not buying it.
