it's a Nissan electric vehicle called EV4

Sorry Djetset.  It was open to you, but it just got locked...

LOCKED for thorax.

Thorax, you provided the make of the puzzle car, and part of the model name.  Provide the year, and the full model name to finish earning your point.

Nissan EV4-H (Experimental Electric Vehicle).
The EV4-P (the first prototype) was completed in 1973; the second I suppose the same year or in 1974

And the point goes to thorax for a complete answer.

Strangely enough, the "H" in EV4-H stands for "Hybrid", but not in the modern sense.  This battery system consists of high-energy-density zinc-air and high-output-density lead-acid batteries.

Here is a scan from the EV4-H brochure, provided by my old friend Al:

Oh well, I knew what it was, but...  No need to say sorry.
