Nissan will be selling an honest-to-goodness electric car at the end of this year, and I'm excited.
My wife and I saw it on display at the Mill Avenue New Year's Eve block party and it's very impressive. Blog speculation puts the price around $25,000, not including the battery pack, which will be leased. This may be a smart way to go, I'm not sure. If they included the true cost of the battery, the sticker would probably go up to at least $35,000, which is way more than most people would pay for a compact hatchback with a 100 mile range. It won't be as fast as a Tesla Roadster, but it will seat 5 people and costs a bit less than $109,000!
Here's an AZ Republic article with some good info about charging stations and the local businesses that will be installing them.
They wouldn't let the rifraff get too close...
I love the dash...
