The all-new Nissan Tilda, scheduled to go on sale in the U.S. next year, is indeed a hybrid-drive car in the sense that it uses regenerative braking for battery recharges, enabling it to go 100 miles, not 50 or so, between charges.
Toyota still pooh-poohs all-electrics right now, but we shall see. Meanwhile, at a price Nissan says will be “competitive” with gasoline-engine vehicles, a 100-mile charge life, and lithium-ion batteries, the Tilda has just kicked massive amounts of sand in the face of the Chevy Volt. (Not that that’s hard to do. And not that that’s not kind of fun to do, either.)
