Nissan Leaf - 100% Electric car - Car Forum

traunt · 03-16-2010, 06:48 AM

This new car from nissan is set to hit the US market this year. It will be the first ever 100% electric car on the roads. Since its electric it does not have any emissions.

A top speed of 90mph and 100 miles per charge make it ideal for consumers everyday needs.

This is a big step towards greener cars, what do you guys think about it? Here are some pics.

Dont really like the design, but the interiors are classy

Its quite awesome..And the invention of these type of cars( zero emission vehicle) should be appreciated..Let these type of cars reduce the smoke to an extent in the near future..

due to the increase in pollution and fuel prices many companies are now looking for alternate fuel vehicles here is an perfect master peace of Japanese technology from Nissan Eco friendly hatch pack type car with pollution free four wheeler the main disadvantage of these cars is performance because its torque is very low compared with fully operated

diesel or petrol cars like Tiena or suv's like x trail

The pricing for Nissan Leaf has been announced. It will be priced at $32000 in the US, but after tax credits it should be around $25000. It could be even less depending on what financial benefits your state has to offer...

The interior is excellent, design terrible. (IMHO)

This car has a potential it uses electricity an this is more environment friendly compared to fossil fuel. The design looks good also.

This is great!

As long as the electricity is clean produced!

Nissan has their new electric car coming out and they have this event called the Drive Electric Tour. Has anybody gone to one of these?
There are a total of 23 events where consumers can test drive the Leaf and learn a lot about it.
You first sign in and get a yellow wrist band and then when your group is up you can start the tour thru a few enclosed structure where a tour guide shows you some of the technology of the car.

After these exhibits you can go on a test drive, and after that there is at least 1 car opened up so that you can mess with the controls and computer all you want (and look under the hood all you want as well!).

The car is a lot of fun to drive! Tons of torque at low speeds. I didn't have a chance to go on the highway with it.

What many people don't know is that you also can have the chance to win a Leaf. You make a 30 second movie on why you deserve to get the leaf and then Nissan posts this on their website. The person who recorded their video has to get others to vote on their video, and the person with the most number of votes wins an electric car!

Here is the link to the events thru December, I think you have to register and log in to see all the events, which go thru the end of March.

Also, could you look at my video and plz plz vote if you want to? I really want a go at winning this. Pass it to friends if you really really like it

It is kind of a crummy video, it was on the spot and doesn't truly show what my projects would be for the car.

For instance, I would (try to) add cameras in the blindspots and connect them to the computer that refreshes the computer screen in the center of the dashboard, customized alarm system, train horns (under the hood so no additional air drag), gain 'root' access to the computer, ecetera!

With gaining 'root' access to the computer, mods and tweaks might be able to be made to the drivetrain, such as a larger battery pack and changing motor behavior. Very cool stuff for an engineering student like myself.

Cheers! And thank you for reading

Oh and I made some videos while at the event of the car's controls, which include showing how much energy the heater takes, headlights, how quiet the windshield wipers are, ecetera.
