Nissan Leaf : First Real World Electric Car

July 2, 2010

Nissan Leaf is powered by laminated compact lithium-ion batteries, which generate power output of over 90kW, while its electric motor delivers 80kW/280Nm. This ensures a highly responsive, fun to drive experience that is in keeping with what consumers have come to effect from automobiles powered Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). Unless ICE-equipped vehicle, Nissan Leaf's power train has no tail pipe, and thus no emission of CO2 or other greenhouse gasses.
A combination of Nissan Leaf's regenerative braking system and innovative lithium-ion battery packs enables the car to deliver a driving range more than 160 km (100 miles) on one full charge (US LA4 mode).
And Nissan's approach makes charging easy and convenient. Nissan Leaf can be charged up to 80% of its full capacity in just under 30 minutes with a quick charger. Charging at home through 200 volt outlet will take about eight hours - ample time to enable and overnight refresh for consumer and a car a like.
