Later the company changed again to Prince Motor Company and then joined by Nissan Motor Company, which then makes the Tama electric car, although not very strong, but actually become part of the heritage of Nissan electric vehicles.
 
When testing by Japan's Ministry of transportation, the Tama EV managed to travel as far as 96.3 km for a single charge with a maximum speed of 35.4 kph by using the electric motor that has a voltage of 36 volts. It was used as a taxi and in similar roles until 1950.
