Hyundai Market Research  As you can see this year the auto show has a larger participation of EVs compared to last year when oil prices were almost double of the current prices.  This means that EVs are now more main stream. During the Hyundai press conference, the auto maker reported on the results of of a market analysis on what drivers want to see in an EV. Frankly there are no big surprises but it is important that now the car manufacturers are listening: Better design, electric does not mean ugly Safety Ease of use, designed for all not just techies Range confidence, add more charging stations Many of the models shown in New York meet these requirements. Carlos Goshn CARLOS GOSHN, CEO NISSAN-RENAULT Carlos Goshn was the keynote speaker at the breakfast conference, just before the official opening of the NYAS. He gave an overview of the results of Nissan-Renault Group, their commitment to electric vehicles and their charging infrastructure. In the next 2 years we  see an acceleration of the introduction of more appealing and cost competitive EVs which will attract a much broader consumer base. The stricter emission regulations forcing the car manufacturers to offer more efficient engines and the lower cost of the lithium batteries will move the EVs from the niche to the mass market.
