IIRC Ghosn pushed hard for the Nissan / Renault EV program.  This could 
change things, maybe not for the better.

alleged misconduct

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.
