Nissan has electricity on the brain. The Japanese automaker is readying its opening salvo in the alternative propulsion wars in the form of its electric Leaf compact hatchback (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/01/2010-nissan-leaf-electric-car-in-person-in-depth-and-u-s-b/). Carlos Ghosn, though, announced at the Tokyo Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/Tokyo-Motor-Show/) that there would be plenty more to come (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/20/tokyo-2009-nissans-ghosn-confirms-three-evs-for-production-i/), including an unnamed Infiniti model, something like the unique leaning Land Glider (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/07/tokyo-2009-preview-nissan-unveils-land-glider-concept-w-video/) concept and an electric version of the NV200 (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/24/geneva-preview-first-official-pics-and-details-of-nissan-nv200/) light commercial van that debuted at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/geneva-motor-show/).
Naturally, there needs to be some sort of differentiation between the standard-fare NV200 and its battery-powered sibling, and Nissan has just released the first official sketch of that new electric commercial vehicle. As you can see from the above image, the vehicle will take plenty of inspiration from the Leaf, including its steeply-raked windshield, flowing headlamps, front-located plug receptacle and general bottom-feeder shape.
No real details besides the sketch have so far been provided, but you're more than welcome to click past the break to read the sparsely-worded press release.
