I didn't look, but are there any specs for it?
Any electric car I've every really looked at would have a hard time keeping up with traffic, let alone keep enough charge to make it back and forth on your average commute

 

F the electirc part. I just want the Cube. Come on Nissan, drop your 2.0 or QR in there and bring it over.

About stealing GM's EV1 idea, people were making electric car 100 years ago. Even 10 years ago, Subaru's Pleo had semi-electric AWD... Gas engine up front, electric motor out back.

 

or a 3.5, that would work too...

 

dont really care about them "stealing" the idea. that post was just to point out that, like hybrid technology, popular electric cars will be something from the "Big 3" that got ditched for more wasteful products that the Japanese manufacturers will pick up and make readily available.

 

I honestly don't think that in the field of electronics, the Japanese are reusing (or "pick(ing) up") any 90's American technology. The electric cars of the 90's were an exercise in marketing, not engineering. Any dufus can strap a dozen batteries into a chassis and put an electric motor under the hood (ever see that electric drag 240sx?). That's exactly what those cars were. I got to poke around in one as part of my advance physics class back in 1997.

 

Much better.....

I would drive one.... Just wonder how slow they really are.

 

id rock it

 

ANY electric car? Hows 0-60 in under 4 seconds sound? 220 miles per charge? Complete charge, full dead to full charge in 3.5 hours? Tesla Roadster is amazing!

Yea, its balls out expensive... BUT, she gets the fucking job DONE! A sign of the future? I sure as hell wouldn't mind it
