Nissan “Denki Cube” Electric Vehicle

The Nissan Denki Cube is a lithium-ion battery-powered electric vehicle concept created by Nissan. It was publicly displayed at the Nissan exhibit at Jacob Javits Convention Center from March 21 through March 30, 2008. This concept serves as a preview of Nissan's future small car design strategy for American market. Production of these electric vehicles may be expected to start in 2010.

The electric vehicle is based on Nissan’s Cube minicab. But unlike the old model, this concept is expected to draw power from lithium ion batteries. A recharge of the lithium-ion batteries may take about 8 hours. The Denki Cube Concept is expected to be capable of traveling 100 miles per charge at a top speed of 75 mph.

Its exterior features some new front and back styling upgrades, including a new "electric themed" front grille design with an AC power charging port. With a new headlight design, new bumpers and turn signal lamps.

I actually like it. I can say that it’s boxy but not unattractive, yet it is charming, fashionable and very functional. It is cute and it looks very convenient for delivery uses. The maintenance cost is expected to be low due to it is an electric car. This would be a very practical buy, and it’s perfect for persons who are sick and tired of sedans ordinary style.

With this vehicle, I can say that Nissan is focused on reducing CO2 emissions, reducing exhaust emissions, and accelerating recycling efforts which are very significant for the preservation of our environment.
