Nissan Leaf - an eco friendly car

Rating (4.5/5) 4.5 Star Rating 51 users

How can we imagine our lives without cars? We use cars for our daily transportation. Some use it for office, while some for university and some for business purposes; they have become an integral part of our lives. But so has the carbon emissions released from these cars employing diesel and petrol for fuel. So with ever increasing cars on the roads, the emissions multiply as well.

In order to address this growing concern, most automobiles corporations have started to work on developing electric cars which would emit no carbon pollutant harmful for the atmosphere.

Nissan
Nissan is one such automobile giant which has produced Nissan leaf which intends to emit zero gases. Furthermore Nissan has proposed this car to be available for the world audience. Nissan was founded in nineteen thirties and it’s headquarter are located in nishi-ku, Yokohama, Japan.

Nissan Leaf
Nissan leaf is one superb car which no one can resist and is capable of hundred percent torque and promises superb performance. Another name for this kind of car is compact battery electric vehicle (BEV). Since it isn’t a hybrid car which means it uses no oil and wouldn’t emit any gas. It’s an eco friendly car.

Features
Technology used is pretty much latest here because a screen on the dashboard will show charging stations for this car and other information such as weather, temperature. For providing key information, support and entertainment a global data centre is also available. It’s all in one and one for all cars.
The battery employed in Nissan leaf is lithium ion battery and has a warranty of eight years so no extra expenditures are required. It has a maximum speed of ninety miles per hour which would be nearly 150 kilometers per hour. And most importantly with one full battery this car will cover hundred kilometers.

Quick recharge option is available by which you can attain eight percent battery power in thirty minutes. However it is inadvisable to do so as it will decrease battery life.

Structure
The headlights are trapezoid shaped whereas the front of the car is v shaped. Five people can comfortably sit in this car. To lessen noise and smoke, the bottom of the car is built in terms of aerodynamics. The car’s battery level can be checked by your cell phone too. Interesting huh? It has climate control feature too.

Nissan leaf primarily works on electricity alone and that is a disturbing factor for other companies who still have oil compartment in their electric cars. Also this car is pretty much affordable and the government intends to setup more charging stations in the future.

Price
The car is very affordable and is priced at 32,780 dollars. It has European car of year award under its belt.

Conclusion
Electric cars would dominate the future and Nissan is taking a lead in that race.

Nissan primarily intends to capture the market with their latest leaf which might give rivals a run for their money. They have revolutionized the automobile industry with the release of Nissan leaf.
