Renault SA and alliance partner Nissan Motor Co. expect their cumulative global sales of electric vehicles to reach 100,000 units by the end of this year.
Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn tells radio station France Inter the companies will be the first to achieve that milestone.
Nissan has delivered 62,000 Leaf electric sedans since the model went on sale in December 2010. Renault sold nearly 25,000 EVs worldwide through April. The latter's EV lineup consists of the electric-only Twizy and Zoe city cars and battery-powered versions of its Fluence sedan and Kangoo delivery van.
Renault says the collapse of partner Better Place, a developer of EV battery rental, swapping and rapid recharging networks, doesn't jeopardize the carmaker's €4 billion EV program. The two companies had aimed to sell 100,000 Fluence Z.E.s in Israel and Denmark by 2016. But volume has reached only about 1,300 units so far.
