Included in this years LA Auto Show is a Design Challenge aptly named "Youthmobile 2030" in which manufactures have been asked to provide concepts for a future that reads like a really good sci-fi novel! "In the years leading up to 2030, the electrification of the nation's highways leads to the creation of a new ultra-efficient, high speed network called the 'GRID'. Nissan's 'ON-GRID' compliant vehicle for the year 2030 is the V2G (Vehicle–to-Grid). Wildly popular with consumers thanks to its low cost, dynamic styling and quality construction, the V2G is the best selling electric vehicle of its time." WHOA! It gets better too! The V2G is designed to be customized with parts that can be snapped on and off by the owner, fitting into the car modifying culture of LA. These parts would be also be made from carbon nanotunbe cloth impregnated with bio resin, allowing them to be endlessly recycled. The concept would feature a small cabin mounted on six wheels, two on the back and four up front on extended arms.I am so gonna borrow my sons when he gets it! More info here also...
