“Nissan LEAF is a tremendous accomplishment – one in which all Nissan employees can take great pride,” said Nissan President and CEO Carlos Ghosn. “We have been working tirelessly to make this day a reality – the unveiling of a real-world car that has zero – not simply reduced – emissions. It’s the first step in what is sure to be an exciting journey – for people all over the world, for Nissan and for the industry.”
Key characteristics of the LEAF include:
1) Zero-emission power train and platform, powered by laminated compact lithium-ion batteries, which generate power output of over 90kW, while its electric motor delivers 80kW/280Nm. It also has no tail pipe, and thus no emission of CO2 or other greenhouse gases. (*US LA4 mode)
2) Affordable pricing
3) Distinctive design, unlike internal-combustion engine (ICE) equipped vehicles
4) Real-world range autonomy – 160km (100 miles) based on a combination of regenerative braking system and innovative lithium-ion battery packs allowing the car to deliver a driving range of more than 160km (100 miles) on one full charge*.
5) Connected Mobility: Advanced intelligent transportation (IT) system
”Our car had to be the world’s first, medium-size, practical EV that motorists could afford and would want to use every day. And that’s what we’ve created. The styling will identify not only Nissan LEAF but also the owner as a participant in the new era of zero-emission mobility,” said Masato INOUE, Product Chief Designer.
