I think you hit the main point, David: how will hybrids meet EU
standards ? Depending on what happens in the US, may not even meet those
standards. And, without a plug-in, it's 100% powered by gasoline. That's
20 year old technology, not likely to be as popular as plug-in hybrids.
I can see the argument for plug-in hybrids for single car households.
But this ? Disappointing.

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?
