If you're in Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, Penn Quarter, or Mount Vernon Square around 8:30 tonight, you may catch a glimpse of Nissan's upcoming still-unnamed electric car that's scheduled to go on sale next year.
Not in the metal -- to use the automotive expression for "in person." Nissan will instead be projecting images of the car that it's so far only teased onto the outside walls of some buildings in the neighborhood as the physical car is shown in Japan.
Nissan has in the past shown electric vehicle prototypes based on its existing models -- the Cube and Versa compact cars -- but this model will be electric-only. Few details of the car are available yet, but Nissan is projecting a range of 100 gas-free miles and family-car space.
Full details will be on Nissan's website for the car tomorrow, and some Washingtonians will see the new photos on their walls tonight.
Nissan will also conduct an electronic unveiling in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, Oregon. According to a press release, Washington was included alongside the West Coast cities "because of its strides toward sustainability and interest in electric cars."
