Nissan+Renault On Track To Surpass 2020 EV Sales Goal?

Editor’s Note: I’ve written about the exponential growth of disruptive technologies, which I am convinced electric cars will be, a number of times.

Little smart electric drive Is Electric King In Italy (February 2014 Electric Car Sales)

Following up on the Germany electric car sales update, I’m moving on to Italy. Italy is a much smaller market at this point. Germany had 544 plug-in car sales in February, while Italy had only 67.
