Nissan has been talking about their electric vehicle plans a lot lately.  First, with their planned partnership with Sonoma County in California and then with their official announcement that they’re swearing off all but battery EVs in the future.

Now they’re talking a little more about their planned infrastructure for plug-in charging.  Their help in the planning stages with the charging stations in Sweden, which notably include McDonald’s, are a window into how these plans they’re slowly revealing for the world market will work.

The American version of this network will likely be similar, though Nissan has so far only been forthcoming with plans already in motion such as the one above with Sonoma County.  They also plan to give Nissan dealerships incentive to include free, public-use charging stations as a courtesy to encourage EV sales.

The rest of the plans are more vague, but make it clear that Nissan is focusing on where charging will be used rather than where it’s most convenient for them to install it.  Workplaces, parking garages, etc. are all on the potential list.  No specific locations, of course, but the general, overall plan is being revealed.

This is good news for the Battery EV (BEV) market, which will obviously be an important part of the overall EV market as a whole.
