Nissan Unveils Leaf, an Electric Car - battery operated electric toothbrush

Nissan was heavily protective of everything about the new battery electric car until it finally launched in Yokohama over the weekend.
But now we know: it is called a leaf, and it has the meaning of clean air.
You won't believe how much work we need to do to clear the copyright of the name around the world, Mark Perry joked that Nissan's supervisor in charge of product planning, and the person in charge of introducing the car in North America.
Leaves have 100-
Miles cruise range and maximum speed of 90 miles per hour
Kilowatt battery pack and 80-
KW motor.
Cost of 220-
Volt socket takes 8 hours but 14 hours from standard 110. (
It's also equipped with 26-minute, 480-
Fast charging of voltage. )
The leaves have a smaller 24-kilowatt-
Hour battery pack (
Stored under the floor), and Mr.
Perry says layoffs are possible due to lithium in the package
Chemistry of ion and manganese batteries.
"The energy density we get is twice the size and weight of half," he said . ".
However, according to Business Week, the battery pack is expensive and a car is about $10,000.
Nissan holds a 51% stake in a joint battery venture with NEC.
When the company works in Smyrna, Tennessee, Perry says, the company will have the ability to produce 150,000 electric cars and 200,000 battery packs a year.
, Ready in 2012.
Nissan received low-interest $1.
6 billion energy manufacturing loans from Tennessee factories.
The size of the leaves is between Sentra and Altima, Mr.
Perry described it as a real car with five people in space, much more compact than it is. âx80x9d The five-

Leaves will be sold and leased to customers starting at the end of 2010.
Although Mr.
Perry said it would be comparable to a well. equipped mid-
There is no price premium size car.
The car is equipped with a navigation system and remote functions such as preheating or cooling, as well as status-of-
Charging monitoring that can be operated by a mobile phone or computer.
The timer allows the preset charging cycle.
Production plans reached 50,000 vehicles in the first year, first in Japan, Europe and the United States, followed by in China.
The volume of transactions in each market has not yet been determined.
Nissan's distribution plan has been affected by Renault.
Nissan alliance has set up ambitious partnerships with Better Place and other companies to build an electric charging network.
Distribution in the US will be regional, built around this collaboration with Oregon, Tennessee, San Diego, San Francisco Bay Area, Phoenix and Tucson, Washington, Raleigh, New York StateC. , and Seattle.
We are playing the role of a Pathfinder, which is a good role. K. ,âx80x9d Mr.
"Our strategy is zero emissions," Perry said.
We are still making clean diesel and hybrid cars, but in the short term battery electric cars are better off achieving zero emissions, part of which is the charging network.
"We don't want to leave our fate in the market to a city, region, or country, because these cities, regions or countries may be slow in strengthening infrastructure," he said . ".
"The charging network will be open to everyone, but we want to be the first and largest user.
At a press conference in Japan on August, the car was announced.
Nissan Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn says electric vehicles will account for 10% of the global market by 2020.

Nissan has just surpassed GM and their Volt in my opinion.
I don't see anything interesting here, enough to make it worth a look. 8-
Charge the exhausted battery for 14 hours?
Time is a bit long.
This almost means that your car is plugged in all the time so you don't have too low battery power.
This is rather inconvenient.
In addition to your local commute or running errands nearby, you need a second car.
It's not too economic.
It's really not that amazing, honestly, it's not close to the MPC that has been made (
Mileage per charge).

Com/model/index.
PhpTesla is the first implementation to be able to 0-60 in 3.
Laptop Batteries run for 2 seconds, 244 miles per charge and 8 hours per 110 V charge
Now, the new S is on site with 5 seats and luxury seats, but it does pay for itself when you see that fuel costs are low.
Plus a single charge of 300 miles, just 45 minutes.
It looks like Nissan needs to do its homework a little better. Fantastic!
Sign up for an electric car for me.
Americans have waited long enough.
Even a hybrid is not far enough. Invest in high-
High-speed rail, solar and wind power bring electric vehicles, ending our dependence on foreign oil.
I don't quite understand how this can exceed the voltage?
I think it might be a nice pure electric car, but once your 100 miles are over your juice, there is no plan, at least 26 minutes, other than parking for charging, but it's more likely to be eight hours.
I still think there are more applications for the Volt design, which can handle a daily commute of 40 miles, but can also charge the fuel on the fly.
With the progress of battery technology, I think the distance of 40 miles will also rise to 60 miles.
The voltage also has 80 ranges.
It will be interesting to see what kind of alternative design wins. Looks good;
It makes sense as a commuter car, however, only as a second car in the family.
Longer driving still requires more traditional gasoline. powered car.
Even though I travel about 40 miles a day, the leaves will work very well. Looks-
It is wise that Volt looks better, however, I would say that Nissan is better than Chevrolet for a long time
Terms in terms of quality and reliability.
I'm a fan of Tesla, but if it's Appleto-
Orange compares Model S with leaves (
Probably much cheaper than the $50 model).
I really hope Nissan will start production this year.
I want to take advantage of the new car sales tax credit for 09 right away.
I think Nissan is a little too optimistic about the series.
In addition, the battery itself costs $10 k.
Also, if you want a decent top up in 10 minutes.
You have to pay an extra fee for special purpose 3-
The charger is able to do this. How much? How about $45K?
This is reasonable. haha…No. 7, Mark M.
A leap in cost.
The price of Volt is $40,000.
Nissan says the Leaf will be the equivalent of a mid-range vehicle.
No price premium size car.
That could mean $20. 25K.
For the difference of $15 K between the Leaf and Volt, you will spend a lot of money to get the "range extender" feature of Volt, in addition, you will not get the best efficiency in range extender mode, because you have to carry heavy batteries with you.
I prefer to see two kinds of cars: 1.
Relatively cheap ($10-12K)
Light weight, full

90% of my driving needs can be met. 2. A long-range, liquid-
Refuel cruisers for special occasions and weekend trips.
I would probably spend 10% of my life 15-
For 20 years, I would spend a lot of money if I was in the garage, and I wouldn't spend a lot of miles.
If not a quantum leap, battery technology sounds like a big step forward.
Still, like most things, we have to wait for the test of the "real world.
Good for you, Nissan.
With the battery rental option, it seems to be found that a model can be priced for electric vehicles on the same basis as a burning car, while leaving a lot of room for technological innovation in terms of batteries.
The hybrid will soon be like a beta.
Compared to the smooth Nissan, max.
I see that there is a huge market for families with two cars at the moment: 1 commute and 1 Remote drive.
I hope they will wait until the car comes out to sell their old car.
I think the way the charging station is set up can be largely decided.
Charging 24 minutes is too long to sit and wait-they need to be set up so people can do other things during this time. Wi-
Fi, coffee and sofa at the station?
Across the street from the grocery store, around the corner of a popular neighborhood?
Also, they need to be in a convenient and easy place to get to, but not too much traffic etc.
Of course, since these are all urban cars, land is going to cost a lot of money, both in terms of limited scope and demographics, so every station needs to be in a perfect position.

Volt is a technological breakthrough and a new concept of battery.
Leaves, and all the Japanese cars (
Imitation of American technology)
It was the same technology that GM abandoned 25 years ago.
So . . . . . . Volt is a scientific breakthrough. The Leaf is a golf cart.
Also, what's going on with this name? Leaf? ? ?
"Volt is a technological breakthrough and a new concept of battery.
Volt is not a breakthrough, Dave Kay.
The company has been doing series-hybrid, diesel-
Electric locomotives for decades
This is just the first time a large company has produced a series of hybrid cars.
The leaves are more than just a golf cart. It’s an all-
Electric city car.

In the "extender" mode, the ion battery is not good for the voltage and in fact damages the efficiency.
Nissan has said that (
Probably no battery for $10 k)
Will be the same as non-cost
Previously rewarded hybrid compact car.
Once you have calculated a $7500 tax credit, lack of maintenance, reduced cost of powering your vehicle, and more.
It began to have financial significance.
Then it's better considering the medium size interior-than-a-
Lexus's noise levels, rapid acceleration, advanced in-house electronics, remote climate control, environmental benefits, and more.
I think they can sell a lot of these things.
You can buy a leaf for less than 1 volt and vice versa (
Currently expected to cost $43,000 after credit)-
This will be a better solution for most families.
Unlike Volt, Nissan plans to profit from both companies.
It looks like a good effort.
The main competitor of "leaf" will be BEV
The Ford Fox generation will be produced in the United States. S.
From 2011
I estimate the price of leaves and focus is about $25,000.
Volt is really a different animal.
Much more generic than straight BEV, but much more expensive.
I am surprised that Nissan has such a large capacity.
I hope they have an export project because I can't imagine the U.
S can support 50 k at this point.
Don't forget, Larry, if you want to charge your car quickly, then the special adapter will cost you tens of thousands of dollars.
This is a very common complaint, not a complaint that only applies to this BEV.
Most of these cars have to take this into account: Tesla, Fisk, Nissan, etc.
Frankly, I think it's a good thing that more houses will have 220 lines etc.
In fact, the United States should move towards this standard.
We have a 220 line in our kitchen because my parents want to use some appliances that require a higher voltage.
Of course, this is an expensive option for many people;
But with planning, people don't really need to be fast. Charging facilities.
If you do, that's the Chevrolet Volt, which is why, despite some of the posters here and elsewhere, the car is different from other cars.
Larry, almost every home in the country has 240 V service-two 120 V "legs" into the service panel, each offering half of the electrical needs of the home.
If one or more outlets do not exist, it is not a big deal to add a 240 V outlet (
It is used for electric clothes dryer, water heater, electric stove/oven, pool pump, central air conditioner, etc. ).
Boys, get your utility bill here: 50,000 leaves/leaves charge on 110 V line every nightfor 14 hours?
Hey, that means from six o'clock P. M. . . . . . . No travel during this time. oops, 8 a. m.
24 thousand times 50 thousand . . . . . . , Electricity generated by coal? Nuke? Oil? Wind?
In Alberta where I live, will this thing heat my stomach with lights, Post defroster, seat heater and floor heater to reach 90 mph at minus 35
After sitting outside in the snow for seven hours, start?
Not ready for prime time.
Finally, how reliable and cheap is the repair and insurance when the car is using new batteries and internal appliances for the first time?
Lithium ion batteries in laptops are rarely used as long as advertised, and the batteries in my toothbrush need to be charged frequently.
It wandered around the town, and the potential energy of 100 miles turned into the kinetic energy of 40 miles.
What it needs is a 1 liter charging internal combustion engine;
A backup charger and power supply can eliminate most of the difficulties.
It's called the previous version of LeafPrius 2, Fusion 2 or Volt.
I am sad to say that in the United States and Canada, it is called olde new one t anything but practical. Dr.
Bob is trying to find a way.
How will they run in the real winter.
If successful, from production to delivery, what is the impact of millions of products on the power supply chain.
Please give me some knowledge of economic mathematics. Larry,Hmmmm…. generic?
When I need to spend tens of thousands of dollars extra to charge my car faster (
Only half)
This is no longer considered a "general" issue.
This is an expensive option for everyone.
Unless your family, friends, work, shopping and entertainment needs are all within 10 miles, people will have to own a second car.
Of course, these cars are not suitable for urban residents.
They don't need to charge for hours in a row or for other people who lack the ability to charge in the city.
The cost of rebuilding the city's infrastructure for the car will make Obama's stimulus plan look like rain spots in Michigan.
Even for rural residents, they still need a second car if they want to go out for a trip because I am sorry, but I will not park every 50 miles or less, charge my car fast 10-15 minutes.
It takes at least 1 hour to travel 400 miles. 20mins.
Because of charging.
So in the end, it's an expensive second car/commuter car for people, and it's a car for those who decide they never need to be more than 50 miles from home (
They need the 50 miles left in the car to get home)
They have enough time on their hands.
So I understand what you mean, but when the range, convenience and speed of charging really improves (
I mean index enhancement)
I will be more interested.
I will stick to the mixed route until then. No.

Dr. Bob, how about two cute little guys?
Wheel trailer pulled behind the leaves?
In a trailer, a small constant.
Rpm ICE and generator set to keep the battery charged?
Jokingly, you had a real problem in the cold weather.
I guess it's full.
Electric battery cars will be used mainly in the sunshine.
It may be popular in Florida, Arizona and Southern California, but people in the rust zone and Canada will have to rely on the power and versatility of a real internal combustion engine. So many valid (
Although there is basically no basis)points here.
I think it's stupid to actually produce and seriously produce a battery car that testan can afford (rolling eyes).
For Nissan, what is the honor of actually bringing one of these vehicles to the market?
Let's say it really happened.
Then . . . . . . We can see how it's done in the cold, in the city, or anywhere else --
Say the scene you can come up.
Sheesh, maybe it's a dog . . . . . . Maybe it's awesome and there's only one way to find it.
At least Nissan has cajones and can beat all other major manufacturers to bring electric home transport to the market. Panned-
When Toyota brought the Prius, they did well . . . . . . Bet there are a lot of skeptics there too.
Anyway, the charging time is perfect for overnight, plus overnight charging takes advantage of the gridpeak (
This is more effective, from an infrastructure perspective, than in the medium term.
Fast charger Day).
God bless we have to start planning ahead of time.
Of course, it may be a used car, but I can see that it serves a lot of urban and rural residents.
I think the ranchers and farmers who live in the serious suburbs will have to wait longer to get something better, but in the end, what we are trying is not just a theoretical difference.
