Nissan CEO Ghosn: Chevrolet Bolt “Not A Surprise” – Nissan Has Competing, Long-Range Electric Car In Development
“Japanese automaker Nissan plans to introduce an electric vehicle with similar range to General Motors’ Chevrolet Bolt and Tesla Motors’ Model 3.”
Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn told reporters today at the Detroit auto show that Nissan is also planning an electric car with similar range as the Bolt concept’s 200 miles.”
“He said the introduction of the Bolt “was not a surprise.”
“Obviously we will be competing” with electric cars that get 200 miles on a battery charge, he said.”
“We are the leaders and we frankly intend to continue to be the leaders.”
“Generations of EVs coming are going to get better, less costly, lighter, more autonomous.”
“It may have even more range.”

As for Nissan, Mr. Ghosn is convinced the Leaf has “significant advancements” due to its long head start in the global electric vehicle market. Noting GM’s Bolt is still as much as three years away, he says there is plenty of time to match the company’s efforts.
As for Tesla, “it is not a competitor.” Instead, “they are helping us.”
