But while the [Nissan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-adventure) V2G looks like a lobster, it’s really meant to be used as an on-grid vehicle on an [electrified highway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-ldk-concept)—that is, the highway of the future. The Nissan V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) aims to offer a safe, swift, and sustainable way of travel. According to The Design Blog, the Nissan V2G also features “quality production at a very low price,” although the blog doesn’t reveal how low that price is. In the meantime, click through the gallery and imagine yourself zooming around in this lobster-style ride. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Green Vehicles:** The trend towards sustainable transportation presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry. - **Electrified Highways:** The development of electrified highways creates possibilities for disruptive innovation in infrastructure and transportation. - **Design Inspired by Nature:** The use of sea creatures as design inspirations for vehicles opens up innovative possibilities for future transportation aesthetics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore disruptive innovations in green vehicle technology and design. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can capitalize on the growth of electrified highways by developing advanced charging and grid integration solutions. - **Creative Design:** Creative designers have an opportunity to explore new possibilities in vehicle aesthetics by taking inspiration from nature. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculpted Digital Conceptual Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyper-adventure.md) - [Persona-Specific EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-futures.md) - [Turtle-Inspired Sleek Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-imobility.md) - [Wood-Paneled Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-nissan-ariya-surfwagon-concept.md) - [Autonomous Amphibious Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crosser-v1.md) - [Biophilic Design Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azulik-mobility.md) - [Conceptual Electric Sportscars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r32ev-concept-model.md) - [Water-Ready Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-above-and-under.md) - [Electric Hot Rod Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hot-rod.md)
