Be the first to see the Nissan LEAF in person. An invitation was sent out a few weeks ago to see the Nissan LEAF Zero Emission Tour in Southern California in November. The tour will begin in Southern California on November 13, 2009 and end in New York City on February 14, 2010. In case if you already missed the Southern California invitation, you can sign up here. If you sign up for the RSVP, you will get a bag of goodies at the show.

@tripjet999 It wont take any more coal fired plants to charge electric cars. The output from preexising coal plants is adequate . Same number of coal plants minus the emissions from electric cars equals fewer emissions. Oh ever hear of clean alternative energy?
@akulabite You have all the reason. I’m just waiting for a REAL affordable alternative car.
wait, why would the us and japan need more hours to charge than europe. whats the difference between the two energies
It is a shame we don’t recycle nuclear waste and reuse it again in our nuclear power plants. France does it, why can’t we?
The Nissan Electric Car can go up to 87 miles per hour. Most gasoline cars have a governor on them that will not allow you to push them past 95 to 105 miles per hour. Who cares about speeds higher than 90 miles per hour anyway. It is illegal to drive that fast. I cannot wait for cars like this to be able to get have over a 150 mile range. The internal combustion engine has outlived its stay in the world.
