You are looking at Nissan's upcoming electric vehicle. It looks like it's built from a Nissan Cube which will go one sale in the United States early next year. My sources tell me March. The electric vehicle that you are looking at will go on sale in 2010. Today Nissan tested the vehicle on their track for a small audience of journalists. It is powered by a 660 pound Lithium Ion battery that is designed to offer more power than the type commonly found in today's hybrids. Those who were there said the vehicle was extremely quiet and being absent of engine noise. They also said that the vehicle accelerated quicker than comparable gas engine cars.
There is still no word on things like top speed, range between charges or price. I'll keep you posted as I find things out. This might be something you want to get on the waiting list for. No one wants to pay for gas and I bet they'll sell quickly.
