In December, Nissan takes a big step forward in its efforts to cut tailpipe emissions with the introduction of the 2011 LEAF electric vehicle. The LEAF is the first in a new wave of alternative-fuel vehicles coming to market in the next two years. For more information on the amazing Nissan LEAF, visit Nissan dealer Virginia. The LEAF uses laminated lithium-ion batteries capable of generating 90kW, while the electric motor is rated at 80kW/280Nm, which is equivalent to 107 horsepower and 206 lb.-ft. of torque. (A kilowatt is equal to approximately 1.34 horsepower.) Those figures give the LEAF less horsepower than a Versa and more torque than the four-cylinder Altima. LEAF’s top speed is more than 90 mph.

Range is always a question with any vehicle, even more so with an EV. The LEAF is engineered to go more than 100 miles on a charge with the combination of electric power and regenerative braking, which Nissan’s research shows will meet 70 percent of commuting needs of the world’s population that drives.

Using a quick charging unit, it takes 30 minutes to charge the batteries to 80 percent. A full recharge can be achieved in about eight hours from a 200-volt outlet. Nissan dealer Virginia has more information about the Nissan LEAF.
An advanced IT system connects the LEAF to a global data center, which provides support, information and entertainment to motorists 24 hours a day, A dash-mounted display shows LEAF’s remaining power and a selection of nearby charging stations. Visit Nissan dealership Virginia for more details on the Nissan LEAF.
Owners will be able to use a mobile phone to turn on the air-conditioning and set charging functions, even when the car is powered down. An on-board, remote-controlled timer can be programmed to recharge the batteries. Nissan Fredericksburg can tell you more about the Nissan LEAF.
