Yokosuka, Japan-
Nissan unveiled its new EV-01 electric vehicle to the public today, that they say delivers more power than a typical hybrid that is found today. The new vehicle that is being prepared to be sold by 2010 produces it's power with 600 pounds (300 kilogram) of lithium-ion batteries.
Nissan has not proved test data like cruising range and other data.
Nissan along with its partner Renault SA, has stated that it is partnering with the Portuguese Government to sell electric vehicles in the country by 2011, in addition Nissan also announced it has other deals with a Palo Alto, California company A Better Place to market electric vehicles in Israel and Denmark by 2011.
Nissan promises to have the vehicle on sale in Japan and the U.S. by 2010 and globally by 2012. Nissan has been slow to the marketplace with its electric vehicle program and is playing catch up with rivals Toyota and Honda, in addition to entries from Ford and GM.
The vehicle has some unique features such as a side collision prevention feature that uses sensors to detect oncoming vehicles even in blind spots and will warn drivers when switching lanes. The driver will feel a slight tug on the wheels that is carried out with very light braking through the wheels, said Nissan Senior Manager Junichi Kobayashi.
More to come.
