The next gen Leaf packs boast a 200 mile range for the same price as the gen 1 packs, but of course they have to sell the current batch to make their money back before they can start putting the new packs in a production model.

@sahgjhbvThe voltage in the sockets in North America and Japan are 2 times lower than the ones in Europe.

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.

wait, why would the us and japan need more hours to charge than europe. whats the difference between the two energies

@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?

Its interesting how the technology has been around for decades but OIL industries have crushed the idea of fully electrical vehicle… Im not a big fan of nissan but i would support their vision.

@time2die99 then buy the tesla roadster:)

@yankeefan610 Not to mention eliminating the need for foreign oil.
