Infiniti Electric Car ready by 2014?

Nissan LEAF


Infiniti Motors, the luxury division of Nissan, is stopping just short of an official announcement, but their plans to introduce an electric car using the LEAF platform by 2014 are becoming obvious. When Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show in October that Infiniti was developing "a compact, high-performance, four-seat luxury Infiniti with zero emissions," the details were sketchy. But the buzz is that the new electric car will have strong performance features consistent with Infiniti's standards.

A recent article in Top Gear magazine indicated that by 2014, Nissan will develop a new generation of electric battery that can handle a heavier carriage and deliver increased power. According to the article an Infiniti boss said "...big vehicles are too heavy for today's batteries, which is why our car will be compact. We're not doing [electric vehicles] EVs for a limited number of people. We want lots of buyers quickly, so we are making a family car." Attempts to validate the statements were rebuffed by Kyle Bazemore, the Infiniti spokesman, but he did confirm that LEAF technology would be incorporated in the new model.

Other electric vehicles:

Audi Hybrid and Electric Vehicles - long lineup planned for 2012
Tesla Roadster production extended until 2o12
BMW to enter Electric Car market with AcriveE Electric Car
Electric Robot car arrives soon
Mitsubishi i MiEV taxis to be released on Tokyo streets
Cal Poly concept electric car - thousands of miles on one tank

    Our universe can be described as infinitely big and the atomic universe is infinitely small. But what is infinitely massive and little in the mathematical sense?

      lol good point. the new car will be built from the foundation of the leaf but definitely won't look like it. can't wait to see how it will turn out though... it sounds like the styling of the car is a big debate right now at nissan.
