The time is right for electric cars - in fact the time is critical.

The low price of oil is a headwind to investments in alternative energy technologies, but it will not stop them.

We don't know where the markets are going....we have to observe what's going down, see the trends, look at every vibration on the market, prepare the technology and jump when consumers start to think one way or the other

When you're C.E.O., you have to have two conditions: first, shareholders need to trust you and want you to head your company. The second is that you need to feel the motivation to do the job. So, as long as both are reunited, you continue to do the job. And today, they are reunited.

Electric cars are not going to take the market by storm, but it's going to be a gradual improvement.

Don't believe what I say. Believe what I do.

I'm the C.E.O., nominated by the shareholders. If they're not happy, I have to take the consequences.
