SOWING THE SEEDS OF THE 'ELECTRICONOMY’

摘要

It's a Friday in late March, and Nissan executives Mark Perry and Tracy Woodard are at the automaker's North American headquarters in Franklin, Tenn., watching people tool around the parking lot in the all-electric Nissan Leaf. It's the final leg of the "Drive Electric Tour," which kicked off this past October in Santa Monica, Calif. The 23-city tour, which gave consumers an opportunity to test-drive the Leaf and learn about electric-vehicle ownership, was a long, strange trip for Perry and Woodard-and a successful one, by their reckoning.
