The new Nissan electric vehicle will be based on a dedicated electric vehicle platform. Powering the EV will be an electric motor propelled by a lithium ion battery. Although the teaser photo doesn’t reveal much, Tacoma Nissan dealers believe the Nissan EV will likely feature futuristic styling that any proper electric vehicle should have, including a sloping hood and raked windshield for optimal aerodynamics.
Power for the Nissan EV will be equivalent to about 190 horsepower, with torque around 206 lb ft. The large battery that powers the motor will be housed underneath the floor of the vehicle. According to a used cars Tacoma dealer, a regenerative braking system, similar to those used on hybrid vehicles, will help keep the battery charged as the brakes are activated.
On board, drivers will have access to the EV-IT support system, which provides round the clock support for drivers concerning their vehicle. Thanks to the on-board transmission system, Nissan will receive data concerning the car’s battery and using the navigation system, the car will easily tell drivers where the nearest charging stations are located, which Nissan Parts Bremerton says will be helpful for those consumers concerned about running on a low charge. The system will also allow drivers to monitor the status of their battery remotely via the Web or mobile device.
