Leaf Nissan EV, Nissan's Electricity is Now a Reality

Nissan at the weekend, its first production model fully electric (on stage). This is called EV Leaf and is distinguished by having a very interesting design, and batteries for their autonomy, and be absolutely electric.
The autonomy of the Leaf EV is 160 kilometers, a mark which covers the daily needs of over 70% of the users. It has front-wheel drive, a motor of 80 kW (100 hp), it generates 280 Nm of torque and can reach over 140 km / h maximum speed.

The batteries are Lithium-Ion, 24 kWh of capacity and a maximum power of 90 kW. May be loaded in less than 8 hours in a standard European plug. Besides Nissan gives you the possibility to load it in less time, with 32,000 euros to get a rapid charger that can recharge 80% of the battery in just 30 minutes. These have a limited life (from 2,000 to 4,000 recharges) and its replacement is about more than 10,000 euros.

Nissan sold in the United States, Europe and Japan in 2010, but with distribution leasing. Only in 2012 will be sold at dealers in the normal way.
As we see below the aesthetic lines of the Tiida that we all know. But this, fortunately, does not affect the purpose and objective of the project, since Nissan wants the Leaf is a car every day and not a futuristic car unattainable.

As if, in my view, is an evolution of the Tiida taken to the extreme in some respects (optical front and rear), where probably many of these lines are in the production model next year.
The interior is simple and orderly, where there is much white, but we see that it is very comfortable and pleasant to handle.
This will have a connection to a server that can provide information, support and entertainment, a center console with screen and joystick control in the central part, and in the cockpit we find a box that informs you of autonomy and how 're driving.
The CEO of Nissan Carlos Ghosn said: "We have worked tirelessly to make this day come to reality (the revelation of the car world to zero). It is the first step in what will surely be an exciting journey for people around the world, for Nissan and for industry. "
