Today is acronym day here at TGM (TheGreenMotorist). EVs = electric vehicles and FCVs = fuel cell vehicles.

Nissan has partnered with Renault and regions around the world to begin the creation of electric vehicle charging stations in preparation for the company’s entrance into the US EV market – tentatively scheduled for 2010.

A report on the new Automotive News show, AN Today, reports that the Nissan EVs will likely be sold on a city-by-city basis. Cities that have an EV charging infrastructure in place will likely be the first to receive Nissan’s new electric vehicle in 2010. The report goes on to state that there is no reason for Nissan to hold back the entire production process while American cities get their infrastructure in place. Watch the entire video on the AN Today website; the Nissan report is the last one.

In other Nissan news, the company is currently testing a new fuel cell technology.

“The next-generation fuel-cell stack is part of a range of eco-friendly technologies that Nissan is pursuing under Nissan Green Program 2010, a plan focused on developing new technologies, products and services leading to real-world reductions in CO2 emissions, cleaner emissions, and expanded recycling of resources.” Source: Nissan News

Although Nissan has been affected by the global economy crisis (like the majority of other automakers), it is heartening to see this automaker continuing to strive towards meeting its green motoring goals.
