Electric Cars: Nissan’s New EV Resembles Golf Cart (Video)
Electric cars that look like golf carts are Nissan’s newest project, as the Japanese carmaker has announced a compact electric vehicle that looks like it belongs on the green.
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. unveiled the New Mobility CONCEPT this week, billed as a small, maneuverable electric car that seats two and has zero emissions.
“NISSAN New Mobility Concept is an user-friendly, ultra-compact 100% electric vehicle with no emissions which is expected to be utilized in various situations in everyday life,” the car company wrote in a press statement, adding that they are exploring such uses as car sharing and urban driving.
According to the Associated Press, the concept car will have a range of 62 miles per change and can travel at up to 47 miles per hour.
The car doesn’t have doors but will have a side panel that acts like one, swinging down until it is horizontal with the ground. While the car was designed by Nissan, its EV system was created by France-based Renault.
Nissan said in a statement that it is committed to furthering research into zero-emissions cars and forming partnerships to further the use of electric vehicles worldwide and sustainable transportation.
Nissan remains dedicated to the “engagement with more than 80 zero-emission partnerships worldwide with countries, cities, organizations and other key stakeholders, the deployment of charging infrastructure, second-life use of lithium-ion batteries in EVs and the promotion of recycling parts used in vehicle production.”
