Nissan has announced it will begin selling its plug-in electric car in Seattle next year. For its part, the City agrees to help support a network of recharge stations.
My hope... they make some sort of noise. As much as I like the electric car idea, the silence is dangerous to pedestrians. Though that does make it easier to stalk your target. Mwahahaha.
The new plug-in vehicle will be able to exceed highway speed limits, go 100 miles on a charge and recharge in four to eight hours using a 220-volt line, similar to those for clothes dryers, said Mark Perry, director of product planning for Nissan North America.
It will seat five, be similar in size to Nissan's Versa and Sentra and be affordable to a typical family, he said. "We think the market is ready. We think the consumers are ready."
