Cool Car but kbb said that the battery's are for { Lease } only . So if Nissan Stop making them you got a Leaf that need's some Battery's ! cost right at $10,000. ty see ya.
@irocx29 No. The batteries, at the end of their useful EV life, will be bought back by Nissan because they have value as stationary industrial storage batteries (still hold 50%). The batteries belong to the person who owns the car until such time as the batteries require replacing, or the car is scrapped. Then Nissan will buy them back from the person who owns the car.
It may be different in other markets, but in North America the batteries are part of the car.
You will see charging stations everywhere soon, because private industry will want you to stop at their restaurant, gas station, department store, etc... Installing a charging station will cost no more than putting up a parking lot streetlight.
There will be plenty of incentive to go to places where charging is available so you can "top off" your battery while you go for coffee or get groceries.
@bluebearbank247 I've seen generators the size of a big lunch box. I wonder if they would have the output to charge a Leaf?... Might be worth looking into....
@RStarga No, I agree with him. Especially if you need to charge at your house, and depending on it's use, you may need to alot. If you do, your electric bill will be crazy. In ADDITION to everything you already run. you could get $1,000 dollar electric bill EASY.
What they should do is put Photovoltaic cells on the car for day time.
@Cssrecords A complete charge form 0% would cost about $3.00 (12 cents per kwh) In practical use you wouldn't run the car completely dead so let say it will cost about $2.00 a day to charge this car at home.
Gas at my local station costs about $1.30 a litre. I can't drive 160 kilometres (the full range of a Leaf if run to 0%) on 1 litre of gasoline so I would need more like 12 litres of gas thats about $15.00 of gas to drive the same distance as $3.00 of electricity.
scary to buy into a first gen all electric vehicle when society at large isn't really ready for it. i'm guessing this isn't a road trip type of car. personally, i couldn't deal with the stress of being stranded for lack of finding a plug somewhere.
Why is it necessary to make "green" vehicles so hideously ugly?? Do they think it helps convey the "we're not about esthetics, we're about fuel economy" statement?
@boardskins this car actually looks better than the average hatchback. everytime someone told me to get a new car my reply has always been "im not getting a new car unless its electric." looks like this is my new car.
@edstar83 Doesn't say much for the "average hatchback". However, if you think this car looks better than a 2010 Honda Civic, I would question your taste in automotive design. Also, the Civic Hybrid gets amazing mileage. You do realize that the electricity for this car has to be generated somewhere; i.e. a coal fired or nuclear powered plant. Take that into account and the Civic is a better choice both economically and environmentally.
90% of the electricity used here is from Hoover Dam and Wind Farms in California, which are both renewable, and environment friendly sources of electricity. This car is perfect for my location at least, along with alot of the surrounding area, and most of Southern California.
Researching, I've found that 50% of electricity is generated from coal, and 50% is from renewable and clean energy sources. That split is quickly changing, as more areas are converting to non-coal burning energy sources. Coal will be obsolete within our life time, as will gasoline/oil.
I believe this car makes perfect sense in most developed parts of the world.

Electric cars are such a joke. What do you suppose will happen if you have to flee the city because of a natural disaster or terrorist act? You're pretty much screwed once you've run out of battery power.
Well, the idea is that this is really a second car.
Also, I get what you are saying, but if you lived in a city where these things are meant to live, you'd never be able to DRIVE out of there during a disaster; you'd have to walk and take public transport. What comes to mind is seeing all of the millions of people walking across the bridges in NYC when the power went out a few years ago.
Perhaps, but I tend to believe that for most it would be a single car household. After all, these knuckle heads believe they're saving the environment by buying these pieces of junk. In any event, the very concept of an electric car especially here in Hawaii would never work. It is restricted to people with houses or limited areas within the city. Townhouses, 99% of buildings, or people that have to park on the street simply aren't able to utilize this technology.
This is perhaps the most affordable and best green car we have today. There are already a few stations to charge your car and there are plans on building more around the state. With rising gas prices at the pump, even those not as concerned about the environment are considering the purchase of a vehicle that costs less to fuel. Not to mention it's three times as efficient as gas engines, it is Is extremely safe and compact.
@JediFarce We ARE saving the environment by buying said "junk". You mean to tell me our Earth is not damaged by the burning of fossil fuels? If that's not your opinion, then are you saying we are so far gone that the Earth is doomed, regardless of what we do? You are either completely ignorant, pessimistic, or work for an Oil company.
Let's just say I've never bought into the religion of environmentalism. Another thing, do your research, you'll find that you end up doing more environmental damage producing a car like that. I'm guessing you probably weren't alive when we had the mess of New Orleans after it got hit with a hurricane. News flash moron, the Feds fell flat on that disaster and it wasn't until the DOD stepped in that order was restored. To quote the General there, "You're stuck on stupid."
@JediFarce Lol, I was plenty alive during Katrina. I'm an adult, thank you. The Feds fucked that up, like most things. But 2 things. First off, building a city in a big bowl surrounded by water where hurricanes can easily get to was a bad idea in the first place. Secondly, that was during Bush's second term I believe, which he fucked up royally. With 9/11, however, the feds and the local police worked that out great. Plus, many lessons were learned from the New Orleans catastrophe.
@JediFarce That is the exact same argument that Oil companies make, and it is a short sighted one at that.
There will be charging stations all over the US in 2-4 years, so you will virtually never run out of power.
When you flee from said disasters, you only go maybe 50-100 miles away, just to get away from danger, and almost always the Feds transport you out, or you walk, not drive
currently i have a V6 E-Class benz that only takes premium gas. I feel the pain everytime i go to the gas station but the amount of fun that i have driving that machine is irreplaceable.
