    Seems this has been mentioned before, but this time it seems the announcement is official.

    Maybe someone will make a move entitled "Who Brought the Electric Car Back from the Dead". :D

    Sounds great. I'll believe it when I see it though.

    It's actually going to be called "Who Saved The Electric Car". No lie.

    Who Killed the Electric Car?

    It may just be the first Nissan I've ever owned.

    So it might be a few more years before we can actually get our hands on it. But I am greatly encouraged because this seems to be the first time a major car maker has committed publicly to this.

    And while Nissan may not be as good as Toyota, it's not a garbage-car company like Ford or GM.

    Interesting. I'll have to check that one out when it is released. Looks like a Tesla in the picture.

    • Did Nissan forget to remove the large Renault insignia?
    • Did they 'borrow' the front end design from Mitsubishi?

    Didn't Nissan license the HSD from Toyota for their Hybrids? I thought that was the case, and if so, this might hint at the availability of plugins from Toyota.
