Mr. Carcamo explained why it makes sense for Nissan – the global leader in EV cars for the road – to enter the all-electric ABB FIA Formula E street racing championship. The Company used its expertise in consumer EV technology to develop its on-track season five package. Now with the Formula E season underway – the lessons learned on track are being used to help improve the Nissan EV road cars of the future.
