I'm speculating here, but perhaps Ghosn's promotion of EVs is another reason they wanted to get rid of him. However, I should point out that Hiroto Saikawa is the Nissan CEO. Espinoza is just a "global product strategist." But for Nissan to have hired a person with attitudes about women straight from the 1950s shows a self- destructive level of corporate ignorance. Further, if Espinoza is actually speaking for Nissan's management, it appears that the same people who opposed closer ties with Renault are totally fine with letting Renault have Nissan's share of the EU EV market. Seems odd, but what do I know? EU regulators are looking for pretty significant CO2 reductions. I could be wrong, but I don't think that "hybrids" that aren't hybrids are going to fly there. Nissan can just make up for those lost EU sales by pushing more bloated pickups and SUVs in North America, right?
