BEIJING: Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei province, will see 25 Nissan electric cars running on its roads in 2011 as part of a nationwide pilot program to promote new energy cars.
To support the lithium-ion powered Nissan LEAFs, more than 250 charging stations would be installed in downtown Wuhan in two years, said Ye Xiangyang, head of the Association of Automobile Manufacturers of Hubei province, Thursday.

The pilot cities, which also include Beijing and Shanghai, are required to provide subsidies for purchases of new-energy cars.
The five-seat LEAF, with a range of 160 kilometers, will make its debut in Japan, Europe and the US this year.
