i want one

Awesome direction cars are taking in Japan. Can't wait to see the technology trickle down to consumer vehicles so we can start driving electrics. The dinosaur cars we're driving now just don't compare on any level to what is possible with an electric platform.

Never wanted a LEAF soooo bad in my life!!!

@carloslovesmangoes Well the only reason Hydrogen would win over electric is because of money, See you have to use electricity to extract hydrogen. Reason is that hydrogen does not exist alone on earth, so we use electricity to get it. (We get 70% / 85% electricity from coal) So I can say yeah your right hydrogen might win. But not because its better, but because there is more money to be made with it. Look up electrolysis. (yes i understand there is more ways to get hydrogen)

Extra batteries and a better motor would make this car faster. I would love to see this thing worry people in teslas!

@DannigBB6 And where do you propose we get the hydrogen? It's not very energy efficient to use electrolysis compared to normal battery tech. Batteries today run at 90% efficiency, whereas electrolysis and conversion by fuel cells back to electricity may only get at most 70% efficiency, and I'm being generous there.

@carloslovesmangoes -- Well that is certainly one opinion of many, but Nissan and other companies are going with what is viable right now. Not what is viable in 20 years. Hydrogen has already been tested and played with quite a bit in the last 15 years. If it were a viable alternative, it would already be on the market. It is used a little bit in Europe, but not widely spread. Nissan and other companies, as you can see, are going with Electric.

@youtubasoarus except that's wrong. electric vehicles WILL never be as efficient as petrol driven cars. There's not much possible with electric vehicles. Until we find a batteries that can last more than 100-200 miles per charge electric vehicles will be jokes. Also lithium ion are very scarce resources, which is what batteries are made of, not only are they expensive to make, it's also expensive and destructive to the environment. Hydrogen will be the future. Electric vehicles will not.

@DannigBB6 yeah :) but nowadays everything must have an economical sense :) what's the price of fuel cell vehicles? OMG. can we buy them? No. can we use them? I'm afraid not. And how about infrastructure? None. Perspectives? require a fortune.

well meybe 30-50 years later FC will have an economical sense, but later BEV will dominate the market. We won't have to use gasoline that long, will we?
