#Nissan’s releasing an electric Micra

I needed a car. 

Being a broke-ass student, I finally settled on a second-hand 2008 Micra. And although my era of endlessly going out has passed, my Micra lives on — and I love it.

First up, it has character. Real cartoon character. It looks like the sort of car a child would draw and its headlights make it look like a robotic frog. That’s the kinda shit I appreciate. 

Plus, it’s a proper city car. It’s small enough to find parking, and big enough to take me on highway trips.

In all these years, it’s been my loyal companion. It even saved me during an accident. I lost control of the and the poor Micra sacrificed itself to save me. 

Don’t worry though, I got it back by paying nearly its purchase price to fix it.

There’s only one thing I’d change about my buddy: its filthy-ass petrol engine. 

And this is why I’m so hyped for the electric Micra.

Okay, we don’t know a lot about it, but why does that matter? Nissan will design it (duh) and Renault will do the engineering and manufacturing. Here’s a teaser:

Wonderfully, Nissan isn’t relying on the latest models’ design for its EV — which means we’re going back to the classic days of the robo-amphibian I’m so fond of.
