Mark Perry From Nissan Does His Thing The first public-use, quick-charge station for EVs in North America has opened in Portland, Oregon. The station was opened by NEC and Portland General Electric (PGE). More importantly to us, Nissan was also on hand and provided...

Prius Gets into the EREV Game: finally gives out specs on its plug-in Prius, coming in early 2012 at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars. 5.2 kWh of lithium goodness = 12.5 miles of range, European testing indicates a overall 42% gain...

Sorta. Effective right now in Europe you can go to Nissan’s web site and pre-order your car. Well, you can if you are in Portugal and the Republic of Ireland. The UK will be added to the list of European countries eligible on September 1st. <insert obligitory...
