Future Of Electric Cars Depends On China, Says Nissan CEO Ghosn LIT, ILC.v, TNR.v, RM.v

    

  Pollution is the real problem in China and electric cars provide the solution. China is already the largest market for lithium materials and is actively building its supply chain of Lithium. Tesla Model S will bring to China the latest and the best technology among electric cars and judging by other high-tech applications, it will be only the matter of time before China will produce "its own electric car."

Future Of Electric Cars Depends On China, Says Nissan CEO Ghosn

China is the future of the electric car.

At least, that's what Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn believes.

Speaking to the Associated Press at the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, he said the car industry is carefully watching China to see how it decides to reduce emissions.

When the Chinese do make their move, it will bring on "the explosion of the electric car," Ghosn said. (His words, not ours.)

While no one wants exploding electric cars, it's not surprising that Ghosn is hoping for an increase in demand from China.

Both Renault and Nissan have bet heavily on electricity as the ultimate alternative to fossil fuels.

Together, Renault and Nissan have sold over 100,000 electric cars, the majority of them Nissan Leafs.

Nissan sold 2,420 Leafs in the United States last month, a new high for the model, and will have sold about 80,000 globally by the end of this month.

Will China keep Renault-Nissan's electric car sales streak alive?

A vast fleet of electric cars is one of the main goals of the Chinese government's "new energyvehicle" policy, although how it will actually boost sales remains a bit of a mystery.

"New energy vehicle" originally meant electric cars, but the government revised the standard in 2011,shifting the focus to hybrids and other technologies that could potentially boost fuel efficiency.

At the time, the Chinese government set a goal of having one million new energy vehicles on the road by 2015. The bar was lowered to 500,000 vehicles in a revised version of the policy released last year.

While China has continually revised its goals to bring them more in line with reality, it hasn't given up on electrification altogether.

Just recently, it added new incentives on electric carswhile largely ignoring hybrids.

Ghosn undoubtedly hopes things stay that way.

Lithium Revolution: Revenge Of The Electric Car [HD]

"Have you Wanted The Internet before you know it? Everybody will want Electric Car."

"Revenge of the Electric Car is a 2011 feature documentary film by Chris Paine, who also directed Who Killed the Electric Car?. The documentary, executive produced by Stefano Durdic, and produced by PG Morgan and Jessie Deeter, had its world premiere at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival on Earth Day, April 22, 2011.

Revenge follows four entrepreneurs from 2007 through the end of 2010 as they fight to bring the electric car back to the world market in the midst of a global recession. The protagonists are Bob Lutz from General Motors, Elon Musk from the American start-up Tesla Motors, Carlos Ghosn from Nissan, and Greg Abbott, an independent electric car converter from California.Whereas the 2006 film Who Killed the Electric Car? ended with the destruction of nearly 5,000 electric cars from California's clean air program, notably the GM EV1, the new film features the birth of a new generation of electric cars including the Chevrolet Volt, the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Roadster."

  "The beauty of Electric Car is that it is the first car which is totally neutral for the environment and is totally free from the Oil dependence...There is no question about the success - the question is only how big the success will be." - Carlos Ghosn.

  It is very important to get the view on Electric Cars and their underlining technology from one of the pioneers of this industry, who put literally at stake the future of both companies - Renault and Nissan - on Electric Cars.

  This is the future and it is happening now, investors will follow the new ideas and this Mega Trend:

"We will share today with you the last very important observation before forwarding you to the recent James Dines interview. Our Catalyst and everything what is driving Gold and Silver all these years are driving the New - still under the radar screens of most investors - Generational Bull Mega Trend. This Mega Trend is Energy Transition of our World to the post carbon society. You are more than welcome to explore it here on these blog.

  All these games with QE and debasing the US Dollar will lead to the inevitable - Inflation, it is the only way to run on par with the Debt in order to keep the insolvent financial system running. During this exercise the fundamental shift will have to occur - transition to the new Energy Diet for our society. Oil will be pushed out of reach for the most economies due to the Peak Oil multiplied by Inflation which will push prices of all Real Assets, including commodities higher. 

 If rising Gold could be still portrayed to the crowd as the fancy of the cocktail discussions and headache for the FED and their buddies among the millionaires - who is preoccupied with Wealth Preservation - the rising Gas prices are hitting to the core of our society. It is all about mere survival for the millions. It is the Institutional Risk which can break the canvas of all social structure within months of Hyperinflation.

  It is inevitable - the move out of Oil - we can chose now and try to make it more or less manageable and smooth and we have technology to do it. Electric Cars provide this opportunity. Price of Oil, properly accounted for all wars to keep it running and all military expense to protect the ocean supply lines is already much higher than the 100 dollars per barrel. This move will happen anyway, whether particular companies and their hired politicians want it or no - the question is when and at what price. The longer we all wait the higher the total cost of this transition will be.

  For us it is the same situation as with Gold and Silver ten years ago - the forces of supply and demand and real economics will be driving this Bull, which can not be controlled even by Almighty FED. According to the admission of Mr Bernanke: "FED can not print Oil."

  Listen to the James Dines and study your post carbon future with strategic commodities at the base of the Next Industrial Revolution: Rare Earths and Lithium. 

  It is not only about money this time - the question is how are we all going to survive? Even the best politicians can not make it without us this time - we do not have luxury of time left. Do your part: start asking questions, spread the word, buy Electric Car or support the transition in your community.

  In the investment world new fortunes will be made on this trend and if you will discount the recent OTC Lithium Hype in the U.S. there are solid companies and serious players coming into the sector. Study the fundamentals,research the ideas, make your DD and have a great journey! 

  If you need any further conviction, just have a look at the M&A picture and Who is Who in Lithium development business now:
