Nissan’s Sonoma County Electric Vehicle Agreement
With hopes of increasing their profile across the United States, Nissan is banking on a new deal with Sonoma County to develop electric vehicle charging stations to help improve their image. The deal will also provide the installation of standards, which means that drivers of electric vehicles will have more locations within Sonoma County, California, to fill up their vehicles.
The idea here is to provide the customers and potential customers with a sense of support, demonstrating that the mood is changing in North America and that several locations are becoming more receptive to electric car usage. By signing the agreement with Sonoma County, Nissan enters into their seventh such deal.
“We have been talking about launching in 2010 and 2012 for mass market introduction,” Nissan director of product planning Mark Perry said, “and that time difference is due to, number one, infrastructure deployment and number two, getting the processes in place to make sure the consumer is not faced with open ended questions.”
With these partnerships providing more options for consumers, it is reasonable to expect other car companies to start joining the fray as electric “filling stations” become a reality. Other Nissan cars may follow as well, including the expected hybrid Sonata set for release soon.
