Workers assemble Nissan Motor's all-electric vehicle, the Leaf, on the production line at Oppama plant in Yokosuka, south of Tokyo in this handout photo released by Nissan on October. Over the past few years, Nissan executive Eiji Makino has met with leaders around the globe pursuing an unconventional strategy: lining up support for the Leaf before it was even on the road. Electric cars need to recharge around town and a growing number of governments, seeking to reduce oil dependence and clean up the environment, have agreed to subsidise that kind of infrastructure.
