Excerpts:
- Nissan Motor CEO Carlos Ghosn finally admitted the automaker will not meet its sales target for its all-electric Leaf — in another sign of the broad struggle of the electric vehicle industry.
- Ghosn — who has been far more bullish on EVs than any other major auto executive — said at the New York International Auto Show in March that the company would double sales of the Leaf in 2012 to 20,000. "We're not worried about it," Ghosn said then. "I feel very good about this objective."
- For the year, Nissan has sold 6,791 Leafs, down 15.6 percent from this time a year ago.
- Last month, the Volt had another best-ever month, selling 2,961 vehicles. In the first 10 months of the year, GM has sold 19,309 Volts, up 286 percent.
Based upon this, are the readers expected to believe that the Volt is a big success and the Leaf is a failure?
What are you expected to believe when news conflicts? I heard that the Volt was in trouble. Now this looks like the Volt is not in trouble, but other carmakers' electric cars are in trouble.
