2011 Nissan Leaf - Battery Electric Car - "In Depth" Vehicle Introduction video

2011 Nissn Leaf Video - Watch an in-depth introductory video of the Totally NEW Nissan Leaf battery electric vehicle. This is a Plug-In battery car with a 100 mile range. The Leaf is the first mass marketed electric car. Paul Hossen the Leaf product planner will show and explain what the Leaf is all about. It has no gas tank, radiator, coolant, engine oil, exhaust pipe, muffler, spark plugs, fuel injection system, smog control devices, transmission etc. Battery electric cars are very simple and efficient. It takes about $1.50 to $2.50 of electricity to fully charge the battery giving a 100 mile range. In a gasoline powered compact sedan averaging 30 miles per gallon, $2.00 will buy you about 25 miles range.

OK, my addition to improvements: removable battery pack. No stopping/waiting for recharge, just exchange battery pack for a charged one at a station. The battery pack is "smart" so it knows what car had it last and how it was treated. You could swap a pack in less than 5 minutes and be on your way, making that 100 mile range not so restrictive. The idea of sacraficing your storage for an extra battery pack is also appealing. I like it.

The more I watch videos about Leaf, the more I fall in love with it.

@Divbeq0 As It uses 48 batteries to give 24,000 watts of power and the batteries are stored under the floor of the vehicle it would take considerably more than 5 minutes to change "the battery" !!

very exciting- I would like to know how much electricity it takes to completely charge the Leaf as I have solar panels that I would like to utilize to charge the

EV.

thanks,

but if there was an alternator and was used when wheels spin would it not charge the battery and not need to plug in??

@Divbeq0 Actually that concept is in progress, it's being done with Nissan and Renault and it takes 1 minute to swap a battery with a fully charged one.

Hey by the way Paul, An inverter converts DC to AC and not AC to DC, a simple diode can do that.
