Not to get left behind in the zero emissions race, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (Japan) today unveiled the Nissan LEAF, &#8220;the world’s first affordable, zero-emission car.&#8221; Scheduled for launch in late 2010 in Japan, the United States, and Europe, the LEAF, according to Nissan, will present:</p>
<ul>
<li>Zero-emission power train and platform</li>
<li>Affordable pricing</li>
<li>Distinctive design</li>
<li>Real-world range autonomy – 160km (100 miles)</li>
<li>Connected Mobility: Advanced intelligent transportation (IT) system</li>
</ul>
<p>The LEAF is powered by laminated compact lithium-ion batteries, which generate power output of over 90kW, while its electric motor delivers 80kW/280Nm. A combination of the LEAF’s regenerative braking system and innovative lithium-ion battery packs enables the car to deliver a driving range of more than 160km (100 miles) on one full charge*. (*US LA4 mode)</p>
<p>The LEAF can be charged up to 80% of its full capacity in just under 30 minutes with a quick charger. Charging at home through a 200V outlet is estimated to take approximately eight hours.</p>
<p>The real question we have, however, is&#8230; although the LEAF and other electric vehicles themselves may not produce any emissions, they still do not solve the emissions that are created by electricity production. Whether it&#8217;s coal or nuclear, electricity is still produced for the most part by processes which consumes fossil fuels. Until the production process and the infrastructure to support it switches over to wind, solar and hydroelectric systems, we at RevdCars still feel the notion of an emissions-free electric vehicle is just that&#8230; a notion.</p>
