2011 Nissan Leaf is a one hundred percent electric car

The automobile industry has been responding to both consumer and government demands for increased fuel efficiency and reduced emissions in recent years. While most manufacturers were devoting their research and development to hybrid engines, combination gas/electric vehicles, Nissan was developing an all electric, zero emissions vehicle called the Nissan Leaf. With a December 2010 release date for Japan, Europe, and the United States, the 2011 Nissan Leaf is the world's first mass produced, affordable all electric vehicle.

The Nissan Leaf can seat five adults and features the latest in advanced IT connectivity and state-of-the-art wireless control capability. Customers can use mobile phones to monitor battery charging status and to activate functions such as climate control. The Nissan Leaf has a range of about 100 miles on a full charge and can reach a speed of over 90 miles per hour. It is powered by a lithium ion battery pack that can be charged in eight hours or less from a standard home outlet or charged to 80 percent capacity in less than a half hour from a 50kW commercial charger. Though now limited in number, municipalities and businesses are working to create commercial charging stations to meet anticipated demand.
