Nissan plans on introducing a "Realistic EV" at the upcoming Tokyo Auto Show. The third-generation PIVO 3 EV is a tiny car that seats 3 people - one in the front, two in the rear. This city car is built to easily navigate metropolises, and hopes to contribute to 'smarter urban commuting.'

    

"The car has a futuristic technology called Automated Valet Parking (AVP). This will allow the PIVO 3 to automatically drive, locate a parking space and park. However, for such a technology to actually work, it will require a smart parking infrastructure to support it."¹

The site is called "The Planet Zero". While it is still under construction, visitors can run over ice…

How is that possible? The car produces zero emissions. In two words: solar power.

Nissan's new goal is to reduce the LEAF's draw on the grid as well as to mitigate battery waste. For, while the Nissan LEAF is designed to last just as long as other vehicles on the…
