View the WSJ video interview with Carlos Ghosn:
First is his perspective on the world economic challenges. The second half exposes his excitement for the electric car. He seems very upbeat about the prospect of an electric car (a stark difference from when he visited my class at Stanford in 2006). In particular, he’s excited about battery prospects even though they are not quite commercialization-grade yet. Nissan continues to be behind the curve with respect to alternative power trains. So I’m not sure I’d take his enthusiasm seriously.
