Nissan Leaf



The Nissan Leaf (Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car) is an all electric five seater hatchback. It was introduced in Japan and the U.S on December 2010. It has a range of 138 miles using 34 kW-h/100 mi. Nissan says the top speed is 93 mph and the electric motor has 112 hp. Under the middle of the car is a 24 kWh lithium ion battery that powers the electric motor. T charge the Leaf at home a 240 volt is required. It cost $2,000 to instal so you might want to think about that. There is a solar panel mounted on the spoiler in the SL package. Also the headlights, which are LEDs, move the air away from the mirrors to reduce drag and wind noise. With 14 cu.ft. of cargo space and a base price of $27,700 this is a great city car.
