Benji Jerew — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 21:03:45 +0000

Personally, I think both battery electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell cars, such as the Toyota Mirai, have a place in the future of transportation, but maybe the solution isn’t that clearly cut. Ahh, the age-old debate between battery electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell cars… Actually, can we call it an “age-old debate” if it’s […]

Carlos Ghosn, Nissan Motor Company’s CEO, isn’t all that worried about Nissan Leaf’s poor sales numbers. The 20,000-unit sales goal isn’t anywhere close to being realistic this year.
