Nissan EV – The Future Is Here

The Nissan EV is the future. With instant acceleration, silent idle, and absent tailpipe, this car exhibits all the electric car benefits. It will of course take a decade before the electric vehicles have a significant take on our roads, but the little steps work towards a future when most of the cars will be electric.

In 2010, the Nissan EV cars will be one of the few electric vehicles to arrive the United States. The company has already declared that it will run several promotional programs in selected cities across the nation. It is expected that, the Japanese car manufacturer will have its electric cars for sale by the year 2012.

Some of the highlights of the electric car, developed by Nissan include 7,500 $ federal tax credit by the U.S. government, no gasoline usage, and just 220 volt required to charge the car. Moreover, the car battery takes only 6 hours to get fully charged, and it can go at least 100 miles on a single charge. Nissan banks on the fact that 98 percent of Americans drive less than 100 miles on any given day, so the car would be highly suitable for daily use.

What more? The plug in electric car emits zero amount of carbon dioxide, and costs just 90 pennies to “fill the tank” with electricity. That’s indeed a good start for an electric future.
