Leaked: 2009 Nissan Denki Cube Concept at NYIAS

First images surface

Last week we already reported on Nissan's plans to bring the Cube to the United States as an Electric Vehicle. Initially for fleet customers but eventually also for car buyers nationwide. Tomorrow at the New York International Auto Show Nissan will display this 2009 Denki Cube Concept, a first taste of what is to come.

The Denki Cube Concept should be capable of traveling 100 miles per charge at a top speed of 75 mph. A recharge of the lithium-ion batteries should take about 8 hours.

Nissan has started a new joint venture with NEC to produce the small EV. Whether Nissan has acted early enough is questionable now that Subaru will announce a collaboration in regards to testing their R1e EV with the New York Power Authority over the summer at the NYIAS.

Stay tuned for live photos from the show floor tomorrow!
