Images of Nissan ’s Denki Cube concept have leaked on the Internet Tuesday. The all-electric Cube – Denki means electric in Japanese – is expected to come to North American customers by 2012, as reported here last week.

The electric vehicle is based on Nissan ’s home-market Cube minicar and is expected to draw power from lithium ion batteries. Testing of a fleet of Nissan electric vehicles, which may or may not be a version of the Denki Cube you see here, is expected to start in 2010 in North America and Japan. The images reveal a very concept-like car, and came courtesy of SuperNissans forums.

The Denki Cube will not be the sole electric car shown off at New York later on this week, as Subaru is bringing its R1e micro-car and Mitsubishi will have an i MiEV on a pedestal.
