IIRC Ghosn pushed hard for the Nissan / Renault EV program. This could change things, maybe not for the better.
QUOTE: Carlos Ghosn no longer able to lead Renault, says French minister Car executive, who is also chairman of Nissan, arrested in Japan over alleged misconduct Julia Kollewe and Graeme Wearden Tue 20 Nov 2018 09.37 GMT France´s finance minister has said Carlos Ghosn cannot remain in charge of Renault, after the leading figure in the global car industry was arrested on Monday by Japanese prosecutors. [...] Ghosn is accused of having understated his income and was exposed by a whistleblower in a move that shocked the automotive industry. [...] On Monday, Nissan said it would fire Ghosn this week, while the Mitsubishi board will meet next week. [...] Japan´s public broadcaster NHK reported that Nissan paid "huge sums" to buy luxury houses for Ghosn in four cities around the globe. The properties, in Rio de Janeiro, Beirut, Paris and Amsterdam, were acquired "without any legitimate business reason", it claimed. Ghosn´s downfall is expected to trigger a battle between Japan and France for control of the Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi alliance.
