Nissan Leaf

One of the first large volume production electric cars. Still considered somewhat expensive by many considering the range available (100 Miles on a charge) but a great start. As of March 1st 2011 the UK price of 24K (minus the government grant) has increased by 2K due to currency fluctuations. Top speed is often quoted as 90 mph but is actually 99mph (electronically limited). The car features a high level of interior gadgetry in the form of the usual air-con, sat nav, reversing camera etc but also includes a 3g data connection for the car to download the latest charging points, upload your driving data to a performance tracking website (carwings) and can even download RSS feed from news sites and read the content to you. Real world driving performance will vary depending on your driving style but heavy acceleration and significant time spent at highway speeds can reduce real world range to approx 70 miles in the worst case. On the other hand, careful low-speed driving has resulted in some owners reporting a range greater than 110 miles.

Electric Vehicles Gaining Momentum and Advocates LOS ANGELES -- Electric vehicles are expanding in scope, size, and shape. It's a transformation that started nearly a decade ago and is just now solidifying. Established car makers like Nissan have invested big because they are confident in an electric revolution. "Let's jump the end game. The end game is a full-electric car," said Nissan Executive Vice President Andy Palmer. Electric Vehicle Advocate Chelsea Sexton agrees that electric cars are no longer an idea of the future. She said they're the cars with the most class and "cool." "They're cool and they're fast and they're fun and the new thing to have," said Sexton. Electric cars started slow. The first models were less advanced, but the latest Nissan LEAF and even newer Infiniti LE take going electric to a higher tier. "It's quiet and it's clean. There are so many merits around it," said Palmer. "This is no longer if it will happen and maybe. It will happen. This is, it's happening," said Sexton. Nissan has already sold 28000 LEAFs worldwide. There are so many drivers in San Francisco, for example, that they actually formed a club called the BayLEAFs. "I've been in high technology all my life. I've worked for Apple. I've worked for Microsoft. I've worked on the space shuttle. I've done all kinds of crazy things, and the next big thing has always been my passion.
