Nissan Leaf EV 2010




Are you looking for a car that is cheap yet environment friendly? No worries as Nissan will launch one in late 2010. Nissan Leaf EV is designed for everyday use. Its 160-kilometer+ (100 mile) range meets the needs of 70% of the world’s motorists.

Nissan Leaf EV has a real passenger space. There is plenty of room equally in front and rear for adults. There is also an extra room for luggage as the batteries are placed under the seats within the wheelbase. All interior pieces are positioned properly, the digital instrument cluster display and the drive controller, which made the look polished and welcoming.

Of course, the batteries are heavy as it weighs 200 kg per car. Nevertheless, Nissan plans ahead and makes sure that the total weight will be similar to a gas car. How about public charging stations? A built-in advanced IT system is integrated and is connected to a GPS which will display the location of charging stations in close proximity.
