  There's an interesting article on Renault's plan to bring Electric
Cars to the US in a couple of years (platform based on the Megane):

http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/05/renault-will-br.html

"The car Renault unveiled Sunday in Tel Aviv with Silicon Valley
startup Project Better Place was just a prototype with a
cobbled-together battery, but the French automaker is serious about
dominating the emerging EV market, particularly in America. It
reportedly is prepared to spend as much as $1 billion developing EVs,
and company CEO Carlos Ghosn says Nissan, which is owned by Renault,
will offer an electric vehicle in California by 2010.
"This will not be a Star Wars prototype," he says. "It will be a car
for sale."
Ghosn told the Telegraph he wants to build "a sexy electric car that
will be fin to drive and without the environmental hit."

I got a chuckle out of the quote, where "fin" was misspelled- it
reminded me of the way Inspector Clouseau would say it, and everyone
would ask "What did you say?
