Electric car adoption will be slow

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.

not true. bring in a reliable, cheap to maintain electric car for under R200 000 and Ill definitely buy 1! (oh and it needs to be able to drive over 400km's on a single charge)

You are going to be paying a lot more on electricity than petrol in the coming years

Yeah, and it must not take 7 hours to charge like that Joule they had on TV.

DUH!

It's more of a fuss than poluting the air with serious K04 Killer Watts!

I think petrol will probably continue to rise a lot faster than electricity. If they just bring the cars to market, they will continue to improve with time.
