Assuming that we’ll have electrified highways by
the year 2030, Nissan has popped up an on-grid vehicle dubbed “V2G”
(Vehicle–to-Grid) that will offer safe, sustainable as well as brisk
commutation. The compliant vehicle is not only safe and swift, but it
also features dynamic styling and quality production at a very low
price. One can’t ask for more than that. The electric vehicle allowing
endless opportunities for modification can also be transformed from a
low-cost to a luxury vehicle for the rich and trendy.
At the LA Design Challenge 2009 Nissan has proposed a
futuristic single seater electric vehicle developed in the year 2030 for
a high-speed infrastructure called the GRID - V2G stands for
Vehicle-to-Grid - which becomes popular among young drivers who discoer
the endless possibilities of customization.
In the spirit of LA's legendary automotive
counter-culture, creative young minds see untapped potential in the V2G.
Taking advantage of the simple and user friendly EV architecture, they
quickly hack the V2G, take it 'OFF-GRID' and begin to explore the
virtually endless opportunities of this newly created vehicle segment.
