2010 Nissan Leaf EV

Kap is out test-driving the new 2010 Nissan Leaf EV in Los Angeles today but in the mean time Nissan has posted some new images of its new electric-car. You can check out Kap’s first drive impressions when the event is over, so for now, enjoy some new high-res images.

Nissan said that it expects production capacity to reach 200,000 units a year by 2012.  The first couple of units will be produced at the company’s Oppama, Japan. Additional capacity planned for Nissan’s new plant in Smyrna, Tennessee

Refresher: Power comes from a 107-hp electric-motor that runs on power supplied by lithium ion cells. On a full-charge, the Nissan LEAF allows for a driving range of 100 miles with a top speed of 87 mph. A full charge takes up to 8 hours on a standard 200V outlet. Buyers can opt for the DC 50kW quick-charger, which recharges the battery up to 80 percent in under 30 minutes.

    The LEAF (frog) is superior to the stinky and illusory Chevrolet Vapor.

    Why the LEAF (frog) is in the hands of egmCarTech right now and the Vapor can only muster press releases about what might be (Vapor SS, anyone?).

    BTW, this Vapor news is just in: The Vapor promotion team has signed Kanye West to be the lead spokes person for the the Vapor at the Detroit auto show in December. Kaye will be present at competitors' press introductions to make sure that the Vapor's suppositious virtues are not left unspoken. Good luck to Kanye!!!!
  • Kanye WEST?! Really? You have to post a link so I can write about this.

    Carlos Ghosn speaking in LA Today... Kanye interrupts:

    "Imma let you finish... but Chevy had one of the best fuel-efficient cars of all time"

    haha kanye = fail

    I still don't get zermatt's fascination with the LEAF that only goes 100 miles and charges slower (without the "quickcharger") than the volt.

    omar does the leaf even have an option for charging in a 120V outlet? i know the volt takes 8 hours on 120 volts.
