You know the drill: Renault-Nissan makes an announcement about a new partnership to build an electric vehicle charging infrastructure and says it will begin testing their EVs in that location. Today's spot on the map? Seattle. The city's green energy-friendly Mayor, Greg Nickels, said in a statement that, "Electric-powered transportation is particularly attractive in a city with a carbon-neutral utility, generating clean electricity through hydropower."
The specific plan for Seattle is to figure out where to place the electric vehicle charging stations and to figure out how to operate and maintain the charging network. Yes, Nissan EVs will begin testing in Seattle at some point in the future. Nissan has repeatedly said it will introduce electric vehicles to the U.S. in 2010. Some of the specific locations where Renault-Nissan is working to bring EVs to the masses include Arizona (Phoenix and Tucson), California, Monaco, China, Ireland, Z�rich, and Tennessee, among many others.
