The head of the Nissan-Renault alliance says customers' adoption of electric vehicles will be a slow and gradual process, with traditional gasoline-powered cars continuing to dominate the market for many years.

Ghosn made the remarks during a panel discussion sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations in New York along with Steven Rattner, the Wall Street financier who led the Obama administration’s effort to restructure the U.S. auto industry earlier this year.
