This Sunday, August 2nd, expect to see the much-hyped, new Nissan electric vehicle unveiled when the Japanese automaker officially opens the doors to new world headquarters in Yokohama.

You can catch a glimpse of the zero emission car’s smooth styling by checking out their new micro site… but don’t expect to see much. The yet-to-be-named, five-seater EV gives us a coy peek at its front end, which looks a not-so-much-like these prototype images, released last weekend.
Expected to garner a 100-mile range, the lithium-ion battery powered car (you’ll find the battery pack tucked under the car floor) will hit dealer lots in the U.S. and Japan in 2010. In it, drivers can feast their eyes on a navigation system that alerts passengers of the current electric charge and then calculates the range necessary to drive to a given destination. (Owners can also check the charge via cell phone. Hello, iPhone app.)
Get the full scoop on the new EV and all of Nissan’s eco efforts by taking a look at their Green Program, touting the philosophy: Seeking a symbiosis of people, vehicles and nature.
Until then, tell us: Which new green ride has got you salivating most? Honda’s CR-Z Concept, the new 2010 Prius, XR3 Personal Transit Vehicle or Enertia Electric Motorcycle?






















You need to respect Nissan for taking such a major gamble on the electric car.
A 100 Mile range car make not be a marketing success, but finally a major car maker is willing to take a chance to see.
