After much hype, Nissan’s latest electric car hybrid is finally available for evaluation. Although it’s only expected to go into mass production in time to welcome 2010, it just seems to need very few tweaks here and there to be complete. Drawing in definite conclusions may be a little too bold right now, but the new NSANY looks good, feels good and drives good too. The NSANY is based on the Nissan Cube, a popular model in Japan. The NSANY will be Nissan’s first attempt at introducing hybrid vehicles to the world.
Lithium-ion battery technology will be used in these hybrids, providing significantly improved performance in comparison to the common-use nickel metal hydride batteries. The latest challenge facing Nissan is to start manufacturing emission-free and fuel efficient vehicles affordable to the masses, rather than create performance-engineered vehicles which guzzle fuel at incredible costs. Going green is no longer an option and it’s good to see that even multi-billion dollar industries are chipping in with their contributions to saving the environment.
