2010 Nissan Leaf

Nissan Motor has unveiled Nissan Leaf Electric Vehicle. Nissan Leaf Electric Vehicle will be manufactured at Oppama, Japan, with additional capacity planned for Smyrna, Tennessee, USA.

The new Nissan LEAF - is a fully electric-powered car which Nissan says is the world's first affordable zero-emission vehicle. In other words it will be priced to compete with cars like the VW Golf, Dodge Caliber, Toyota Corolla and Ford Focus.

What gives the LEAF its credentials is a set of laminated lithium-ion batteries and an electric motor. Unlike hybrids like the Chevrolet Volt, no fossil fuel engine of any type of size is to be found in it. The batteries make over 90kW while the motor delivers 80kW (109hp) and 280Nm, figures similar to those of a compact turbo diesel motor.
