Nissan's All-Electric Concept Car
While looking like something straight out of 'Blade Runner,' Nissan's Mixim is looking hot. It's one of the few electric vehicles shown by one of the major auto manufacturers, and after the amazing Who Killed the Electric Car? effectively proved, electric cars could very well become our primary mode of transportation...if the powers that be let it happen.
The hatchback weighs just 2100 pounds and is only 12 feet from bumper to bumper, but it comfortably seats three. Under the hood, two Nissan "Super Motors" provide it with all-wheel-drive.
Remember, it's still a concept, but here's hoping it gets produced for public consumption.

"If the powers that be let that happen" is pure rubbish. Perhaps you have been on Mars - GM is developing an electric car called the VOLT that is an actual vehicle that will actually be sold. This thing from Nissan represents no tehnological
advancement whatsoever and is not a vioable alternative to a gas powered car. It is also , by my and my friends' light, the absolute ugliest car we've ever seen. It looks like those 1930's visions of futuristic electric irons.

I disagree with Beauhrt. I have no idea of which one is better or closer too production...but the Nissan, In My Humble Opinion DOES LOOK HOT.

The Nissan does look hot and the Volt does not! The Nissan especially with it's gull wing doors! Best of all, we don't have to worry about some union strike to delay it's arrival. Remember Nissan has been in the electric car market since 1947 with the Tama Electric Vehicle. PS...Remember the 'powers that be' are in the oil business.

I believe in electric auto, but would like to see one self contained one that does not have to be recharged.Has anyone tried the electromagnetic motor?

I can't remember which maker is was, but I was reading a few months ago about a hybrid that's about to hit the market. It's basically an electric car but it has a small gasoline motor, sort of lke a lawnmower that can be turned on to power a generator that charges the battery. Once moving the motion of the wheels powers the generator. I can't believe now one has thought of it sooner.
