Another answer to the future of mobility. Wayne Gerdes – CleanMPG – June 29, 2017 The Nissan BladeGlider on a media drive at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Nissan is showing of something quite electrifying at the Goodwood this weekend. Meaning they have brought their all-electric BladeGlider prototype to the UK’s “Festival of Speed.” The BladeGlider uses the most cutting-edge zero emission technology and innovative automotive design in a form factor that meet the needs of a future commuter. In other words, a 3-seater designed to meet the needs of the daily grind. Except that it adds a bit of excitement from a little electricity to cover the distance. At the Goodwood Hillclimb and the circuit afterwards, some lucky VIPs will be able to drive the 100-percent all-electric Blade Glider. In between runs while charging, Nissan will place the BladeGlider on static display in the Goodwood paddock, allowing attendees to get an up-close look at the brands vision of the future for performance cars.
